$1600 --> $400 - maybe they weren't selling too well.  Hope it works for
you.

Yes, that's nicer bokeh, and maybe a better portrait.

For me, and yes, I may be a fanatic, it's also about the distribution within
the blobs. I'm still looking for the gear that will let me get something
close to an airy disk distribution around highlights, small sources, etc.

As shown here before, the LensBaby doublet Soft Focus, with or without focus
plates, doesn't go where I want, although it moves in that direction with
one plate. Now a couple of LensBaby singlets, and zone plate have come to be
played with, via a refurbished sale.

Perhaps of more interest ... That great enabler, Mike Johnston, posted
today's Amazon Deal of the Day, the Lytron Illum, for $399. Unfortunately,
there was still one left when I checked, but not after I checked out. ;-)

Posted samples show some really interesting things that can be done with
focal plane, DoF and bokeh. At the original
$1600 and the reduced $1300, I couldn't see it. Available now for $600, but
another $200 off flipped my trigger. With the last hurrah improvements in AF
and in the Raw processing software, I'm kind of excited about the
possibilities.
