Got my lensbaby composer pro double glass today.
First impression: Really amazed by the optics quality for a $250 lens. Also, changing the aperture ring is made in seconds and is actually very easy. Its done in the front of the lens, you don't need to remove the lens from the body every time.
The softspot around your focus point get very blurry; and at 2.8, the bokeh is just lovely; very creamy.
Two big plusses, the nikon 2x converter can be attached to convert it to a 100mm focal and extension tubes can also be attached to shorten the minimal focus distance, which is around a foot without any ET.
This lens will definitely put my manual focus skills to work since the focus ring is very delicate and if you miss your focus sweet spot by a tiny bit, the shot is completely unusable. It requires a master skill to focus while being tilted, but i'm sure you get it faster and faster as your time spent shooting with this lens goes.
It'll be perfect for the project I got in mind.
