New Monti HipstaPak

[Lzed]

This showed up a few minutes ago.
Not really sure if I like it right now.
In the previews there is some blurring but with all the shots I took the blurring seems stronger and looks muddy.

Just bought it myself, and will give it a try. Not a huge fan of any kind of blur.

 

[Lzed]

I like and use Loftus which has blur around the outside edge.
This is more blurred.

I'm loving it so far! I think the lens is great with B&W films:

Also like it with Cano. Here it is with Dixie:

And a little flower for everybody:

I think I know which lens will be my favorite this month

Got this with Robusta. Kinda filter overkill, but still eye-catching.

 

[lkbside]

I am usually not big on blur, but you can get lucky with the focus.

 

[Kentaro]

Overall I'm not keen on the blur effect.

Man that's a lot of blur :-/

What lovely photos y'all have posted in this thread. I actually have a soft spot for the earlier Hipstamatic "blur" lenses, especially Americana. As lkbside says a few posts back, sometimes you get lucky.

This Sergio blur, though, seems a bit strong for most purposes — and the Hipsta folks were pretty darn selective in their "demo" photos, or maybe they were using some early pre-release version of the filter, because the blur in those is much less extreme.

On the positive side if your artistic process entails significant intake of psychotropic substances I can definitely see a place for this lens.

Hm, psychotropic substances — that sounds like a nice idea^___^ Meanwhile, we have a lilac blooming:

The new pak with Dreampop flash:

And just a cozy dinner:

The jury is still out on this one....

 

[Photo Cocoa]

I like them all!

I didn't notice the blur when I bought it. It's a new hipsta lens, who's got time for details?

 

[RoseCat]

Oh I like it with Susie!

Me too!! Susie is not one of my faves, but it looks wonderful here!

 

[RoseCat]

It's fantastic for flowers...

 

[RoseCat]

I must say I'm loving this new pak!

Indeed! Because the demos show no blur that I can see...

I love the warmth in the combo - colors are delicious - but the more I use it, even this LoftusLover is finding the blur a bit overpowering... Depending on the composition, sometimes the blur doesn't "blend" into the photo nicely, if that makes sense.

Although I love the colors in this shot, the blur seems really defined around the edges, and with the clear center... it just looks weird to me. But it doesn't happen in every shot.
