Our friend Tyson Robichaud just announced the new Lensbaby 40mm f/1.6 for MicroFourThirds lens ([shoplink 16319]Lensbabies for classic 4/3 mount are already available[/shoplink]) T.R writes:”This Lensbaby offers not only a relatively affordable choice, but one that will double as an Nikon F Mount adapter. When the standard Lensbaby Composer element is removed, the Tilt Transformer acts as a lens conversion mount which will enable any compatible Nikon lens to function as a tilt lens would. Think macro with a controlled slice of focus enabling you to shoot an entire bug in focus at f/2.8 or f/4! Or, create the tilt miniature “effect” with a fisheye or a super telephoto lens! If you prefer to avoid the tilting portion of the deal, center your lens and lock it down with the locking ring on the Tilt Transformer and viola! You have yourself an F mount adapter, or a 40mm (80mm efov) f/1.6 portrait lens!”
