Lensbaby Burnside 35mm f/2.8 Review
Lensbaby Burnside 35mm f/2.8 Verdict
You have a concept, you want to explore it and create unique images, and if this lens fits that situation then the choice is very clear. To just dabble it could be considered quite pricey and maybe a short term option that soon gets moved on.
It needs care. Images can end up looking bland and muddy. On the other hand, with skill and perseverance some very amazing shots could emerge from the creative process. Not every shot needs to be ultra-sharp all over to be a success.
Lensbaby Burnside 35mm f/2.8 Pros
- Well made
- Creative possibilities
- Unusual bokeh
- Good central sharpness
Lensbaby Burnside 35mm f/2.8 Cons
- Needs working at to get best results
- Poor as a general purpose lens
