Just orderered a Lensbaby Control Freak - I have questions

13 years 7 months ago #687 by Joe Photo Daddy
First off, anyone have one of these? How easy are they to use? I was just thinking, will the camera still be able to make a metered recommendation? Or will I need to get a light meter? This is being mounted on Nikon D80

I have used one only, I think this is something I would like to pick up. Definitely fun, but will take some time to learn how to use.

Now how do you change the aperture with those? They are suppose to be like a 50mm lens right?
