This looks very interesting, and might be on my shopping list early December :)

Looks good! You could achieve something similar by pasting a blurred version of the image on a layer over the top and applying a circular gradient mask. Or something.

I'm quite loyal to these guy's products to be honest, they tend to be quite nifty and enable you to push Photoshop quite a bit further with what you can achieve

I've made images produce almost identical results just by doing a tilt shift and playing with the selection area.

How is this different to Photoshop's built in lens blur filter?

and apparently it's compatible only with CS3 onwards
I haven't used it, I just thought it would be cool to link as to alert you lot :)

On the surface at least this does exactly the same thing Photoshop's own Lens Blur filter (which has been around since CS1), excluding adding vignette.
All you need is a a grayscale depth map in one of your channels and it will simulate depth of field very nicely.

much more fun than fiddling on the computer!
to be honest this software doesnt appear to do anything that you cannot already achieve with manual settings on your camera. seems a bit pointless.

I've spent thousands on my lens' to be honest, it would just be nice if you could push the resulting images a bit further

try a lensbaby...you will probably pay quite a bit less than $200 if you look on thiefbay ( i paid £45nfor a 2.0 wit a macro kit). they are a great piece of kit and can inspire you when you are stuck for ideas.
(nice glass btw!)
