56mm f/1.6 manual focus. Seems to be reasonably priced.
Generally I wouldn't mention such except that it is one of the few I've
seen that IS available in Pentax K-mount.
Start's shipping 13 April.
I've never understood the appeal of the "Lensbaby" line..
Isn't it just a way to get "Instamatic" quality shots from your multi-thousand
dollar digital setup? What is the appeal?

Best I can figure, they offered the "tilt" part of "tilt/shift" for
photographers who couldn't afford the real thing.
This looks to be a departure from their previous offerings. Seems to
offer the advantage of a soft focus lens at wide aperture with
(semi)macro capability at higher apertures.
