One of the reasons to love 1635GM - it beautiful geometric distortions. You can transform space to your advantage without being God or super-massive black hole)))))

At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
I picked up a Canon EF 135/2... so far it's been working out great! I feel like I got a bargain at least
There's something about the texture and the color that hits the spot.

Not that there is anything wrong with these images, far from it, but I must ask - no more love for Voigtlanders?
A.
I still love and use them and will probably post some photos from them soon. It's just that when I post photos, both here and at Flickr etc., the Lensbaby shots are almost always the most popular, so it's hard to resist using those lenses. Also, it is fun to use lenses that are so versatile. Used straight they are nearly as sharp as the Voigtländers and sometimes I actually prefer the look of the Lensbabies (colors, bokeh etc.). Then you can tilt them in any direction you want and the front of the 50mm and 80mm can be pulled out to focus really close.
A couple of comparison shots taken with Lensbaby Edge 80 and CV 75/1.5 VM at their largest apertures (f/2.8 vs f/1.5, unedited JPGs from camera):
