This is a great addition to the LensBaby line, and allows you to get creative in a lot of new ways.
The product is made up of two distinct parts, the Scout Lens Assembly, and the Fisheye optic.
The Scout lens assembly works with all your LensBaby optics, focuses smoothly and is well built and solid. Unlike the Composer or Muse, this unit does not bend, flex, or twist. When you use optics with a sweet spot of focus, that sweet spot will always be perfectly centered.
The real joy here, comes from the 12mm Fisheye Optic, however. Unlike most LensBaby Optics, it is sharp from edge-to-edge, and that feature means it works great with the Scout Assembly. It will work with the other lens housings, but benefits from their unique features less than other optics do, as the point of being able to move a sweet spot of focus is a bit lost if all spots are the sweet spot. The main features of the fisheye optic are the incredibly sharp edges, the round field of view, and the intentional light leaks that allow for great unexpected creative effects that make it a real joy to have and to use.
Highly recommended for users who don't mind focusing manually and setting aperture in that unique LensBaby fashion...
