With the right lens, your DSLR can see whatever you want it to -- close-up wildlife shots, low-light pictures without a flash, family portraits in close quarters -- and that flexibility is a big part of why these cameras are so popular. As you build up a collection of lenses that takes advantage of that selling point, your first choice after the kit lens should be a general-purpose wide lens or something with a big aperture. But after that, the creative possibilities of a Lensbaby Scout make it a terrific third lens to carry in your bag -- its 11mm fisheye perspective can create fun, unique photos and its interchangeable glass can do tricks that standard lenses can’t touch.
Shooting DSLR photos with a single lens is like painting with one color; the limited palette can constrict your possibilities. Lensbaby’s Composer completely changes the way you use your camera.
