We're going to go really far field here and look at some radically different types of lenses. Lensbabies, Holgas, and the other things we're going to look at in this chapter offer radically different image-making possibilities from any kind of lens that you might have worked with so far. These lenses take great liberty with focus. Sometimes they've got full-on optical problems. They might mess up color.
