Lens Baby - what exactly is it?

[Westside guy]

I know it's a unique lens of some sort; but I don't quite grok what it's used for. Anyone able to enlighten me?

Thanks!

I'll assume you haven't looked at Wiki. Or this other, less informative (at least initially) site.

I really like some of samples they have in their gallery, but it would take me decades of experimenting to try to get those results.

I hadn't seen the Wikipedia article, thanks. I'd seen the other page, but as you note it doesn't really explain anything.

I don't often go to Wikipedia because, in the past, my experience has been that the accuracy of their information is quite variable. Unless you're looking up information regarding Anime - then it's a treasure trove.

Has anyone ever used one? I've been looking at them for quite a while and just got a new D70 that will support it.
