Has anyone ever tried the lensbabies - a selective focus lens for really cool shots?

I'm thinking of purchasing one for my canon 20d

I have never had a lensbaby,but years ago i got a Hoya filter for selective focus,i didn't use it alot as i was bored very soon with this.At that time i bought a Hoya star filter,a multivision and a diffuser and neither of them i used for long time
Nowdays we are able to create these effects in photoshop very easy :)
How much a lensbaby cost?

I have seen (on a paper magazine) some nice photos taken with lensbabies but I did not find them interesting as we can produce the same effect using a computer. It is probably easier with lensbabies though :)
Waiting for your photos!

Yeah, I know I can produce the images in PS, etc . . . but I'm kinda lazy - I'd rather it come out of the camera the way I imagine it. LOL :D

I'm gonna order it at the end of the week when I get some wedding payments in . . . money, it seems I'm always waiting on it to arrive!!

Have a great day!
Robin :)
