Thank you both very much :)

It just so happens that I was getting another ready to post. BTW Paul (@LocalHero1953 ) this latest batch were taken in the woods the other side of the road of the cycle path that goes from Rhode-St-Genese to La Hulpe. I'm sure you've cycled that path.

Lovely - and I probably have been near there - the whole forest is just right for this kind of image.

Nice shots! I'm considering getting this lens..

But..

Has anyone done a direct comparison to the Lensbaby Velvet series?

Those may even look a bit better to my eye..and at $300 to $500-..

And come in 28mm/56mm/85mm.

Some pretty cool stuff is being done w/those..

I don't know of any comparisons. How would you get it on your M body?

I would have loved a shorter FL Thambar.

You could probably get a lens for Canon or Nikon and use an adapter to M.  I have used an old manual Nikon F lens on my M, worked fine. Anyone have a Lensbaby Velvet for Nikon F, I could give it a try...

On B&H there's a nice bunch of user photos (for the 85mm Lensbaby at least). I did notice a couple had ugly fringing, just like with the Thambar it is possible to get ugly bokeh, in my opinion.  But with care, as we've seen above, it can make emotionally charged photos. Ideally you have a willing model to put a lot of time into perfecting how you use it for portraits, LOL.

I do like my Summarex a lot for carrying around, and use it a whole lot more often than the Thambar.

Unique how?  I am not getting it ? Most of the images look different from each other. Some are soft some look out of focus, some look like motion blur , some look over glowed , some look flared, some have smooth Bokhe some have very disturbed Bokhe . I just don’t see a pattern?

Initially, I didn't quite understand it either but after going thru a LOT of images, I get the purpose of this lens.. I think it's meant to be VERY artistic with all the quirks and qualities it offers.. not sure the bokeh can be replicated with any s/w.. meyer gorlitz series lenses probably can come close but I haven't used that either.. just going by what samples I have seen.. 
some of the "paint brush" like effects could probably be replicated by some really nice apps we get these days but again I am not sure if they look the same on a bigger screen or on a print.. on phones everything looks OK :D 

someday I might get one of these lenses.. just way too expensive that I can't justify for myself at the moment.. if they're available for rent, then maybe I'll try them out sometime..

the purpose of this lens

Was to make aging movie stars look more beautiful in an era long before photoshop. It works. It enhances beauty in a way that is ethereal and romantic. Like a memory of someone you cherish.

I am already sold on the purpose but just can’t justify a niche specific purpose lens for that price.. I’ll probably look for one to rent somewhere if available
