Bruce Sir, agree with you that the Lensbaby systems are awesome and pretty desirable to own if one is looking for the occasional fun. But beyond that it may become overdone and boring. And the system looks too plasticky / toyish. Maybe we are better off with "real" lenses even though they may be 2nd hand to cut costs.
Regarding books on photography. I prefer not to buy them any more as better resources are available on-line and on Photo Forums. I already am finding it difficult to store and protect some 32 books - most of them classics and how to books including a rare copy of the Pentax Way. Example, a simple topic like "Sharp Blur Free Photos". I picked up some great resources from 4-different authors on-line, that would not have been possible to put in a single book by one Author. What a wealth of information i could gather. Thanks and Regards.
