Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Sure, the Muse looks and acts like the Original Lensbaby. But, like the Composer and the Control Freak, this little baby comes with Lensbaby’s Optic Swap System—offering artists an almost unlimited variety of looks and styles to capture their unique visions.All Lensbaby lenses bring one area of a photo into sharpest focus with that Sweet Spot™ surrounded by gradually increasing blur. Photographers focus the Muse by compressing the lens and move the sweet spot by bending the flexible lens tubing. The Plastic optic blurs and diffuses in a dreamy way that Holga™ and Diana™ camera lovers will especially appreciate.
Bend it Baby! The Muse captures the spirit of Lensbaby photography, opening up a new realm of fun in focusing. Squeeze the Muse to focus, and bend your Sweet Spot around the photo. Like the Composer and the Control Freak, this little baby comes with Lensbaby's new Optic Swap System, offering artists an almost unlimited variety of looks and styles to capture their unique visions.
The Muse comes in two flavors. You can buy the Muse with the tack sharp Double Glass optic installed or get dreamy with the Plastic Optic version. Your choice! How to Use the Muse Get loose with the Muse. Focus by squeezing the focusing collar with your fingertips. Move the Sweet Spot of focus around the picture by bending the lens in any direction. A guaranteed out of the box experience. To change your aperture, simply touch the tip of your Aperture Removal Tool to the aperture disk and lift it out. Then drop a new aperture disk into the lens. The disk will float above the optic in a shielded magnetic field. Key Specs

Customer Reviews
If you're really looking to expand your creative possibilities, look no further (except maybe to the Lensbaby Composer). For the money and the creativity you can't find a better item. These are one of a kind and pure fun. I also bought the single-glass optic to swap out and i do like that more than the plastic..however as Lensbaby is not selling one with a single-glass optic in it, I had to buy it seperately. But now I have the plastic one in this product and the extra single-glass to have fun with.
I bought the Muse with plastic optic. Very fun to use. Quick and easy to change aperture disks. I like the dreamy soft effect. I find it easier to use than I thought it would be. I will certainly purchase other optics.
I took a bunch of shots with my Nikon D80. At first I guessed exposure, then grabbed the light meter. I made a number of handheld shots and liked the results on the camera screen. When printed the shots looked sweet.
A well-made product I recommend.
