I'm not sure how practical one of these would be for weddings, but the look interesting if you like to shoot archeticture.
Anyone ever tried one?

I had one when I was about 12 for my pentax me super. Never really applied it, just thought it was neat to play with. Not necessary today with tools like photoshop around, unless you specialise in that sort of shooting. I can't think of a situation where one would use it for weddings unless the bride was really huge :) :) With so many people these days unable to control themselves putting huge volumes of food into their mouths it may be useful for weddings in another five years or so, tho ;)

Hey Darren

Glad you made it back on the VU boards!

I think the look is neat, probably not much for wedding photography unless it is an interesting shot of the cake, hall, or something very different for a ceremony shot. That's what I would use it for I think. But a lensbaby would do just fine. :) (I'm still asking Santa for one).

Thanks for the info.

cheers
