Full shot of Toccoa Falls which has a vertical drop of 186 ft. It was a bit windy the day I shot this so some of the foliage moved.

Thank you, and those who contacted me privately, very much for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts! It means a lot and is very helpful. Btw. hope no one thinks that I was fishing for compliments. I have struggled with this lens ever since I got in December (some of you may remember that I beta-tested it for Lensbaby and got to keep it afterwards). One day I love the effect, the next day I wish I had used a normal lens. So I leave Burnside at home and immediately miss it. So strange. I'll continue using it and with time hopefully learn exactly when the effect works and when not.
Back to photos!

Thank you very much Ronny! Yours are absolutely stunning as always.
To my surprise almost all sets I have posted taken with the Lensbaby Burnside have gotten lots of likes. I have been meaning to ask (not just Ronny): Do you like the photos because of the lens, or in spite of it? I mean, do you think that the special look adds to the photos or would you like them as much or more if I had used a normal lens?
The reason for asking is that I'm still very torn myself. I have never had such mixed feelings...Show more →
Lovely, lovely images (as always).
It would be very interesting to hear you say more about your own feelings about the lens and how you think it has affected each of the pictures and made each different from how it would be with a normal lens.

I had dinner first and it took longer to get there. I only managed to get a few keepers from this famous windmill complex. This was captured at about 9:15PM at a wind still evening, which is very seldom in Holland...

Nice scenery... how do you like the Batis 25? I’m considering one but not sure yet.

Yes, this is the (more Zeiss than Sony) Sony/Zeiss A-mount Planar 50/1.4. It cost $1052 after a 10% eBay rebate — the same seller currently has it listed for$1999. Not surprisingly its AF speed with the LA-EA3 adapter can’t match that of the FE 55/1.8 but its rendering (though not so evident in this scene) frequently more than compensates. Rather like an AF version of the ZE/ZF Planar 50/1.4 but better wide open at close distance.

I would like to thank Danny Burk again for selling me this Zeiss ZE 25/2 lens. It really suits my needs, and may compel me to buy the Loxia 25 in the future. Thanks!
Oh, I found another track between the trees!
(PS -- I re-thought, and decided to go with a slightly denser tone, instead of the original "bright" rendition.)

I'm glad it went to a good home - you've already used it more than I did in the entire year that I had it!

Helena - You have a knack for finding wonderfully appropriate compositions for each of your lenses, IMO. In fact, I had that exact thought when I was looking at your Monolens images a few minutes before coming across your question. Speaking only of the lenses and their effects, I like your other lenses more than the Burnside, but your subjects and compositions bring out its best aspects. I say "keep using the Burnside" when you feel it's the suitable choice, and if you can't decide, perhaps try identical compositions with it and your other 50mm and then compare the results.

Another infrared from Shiojiri Japanese Garden, Mishawaka, Indiana. A7R, 12-24/4 at 12mm.
Do the tilted trees on the outer sides bother you? Typically I don't like this effect, and I'd thought about returning to the park with a Canon 17mm tilt-shift to reshoot a stitched version with roughly the same composition. After a few days, I started to think that their tilt gives additional weight to the main tree. In short, I'm undecided. Thoughts?
