Are they really worth it?
i mean 200$ for something that small?
what do you think?

Its purely a matter of opinion & what you think you would like to accomplish. Personally i would never consider one...i just do not like the effect/idea.

ya its a tough decision, i like the effect but its a steep price for a student

I think I might like one, but I've never been able to make up my mind as to which version

I looked at a Holgaroid, which would be lots and lots of fun. Think about it: passing a silly plastic camera that spits out instant film around in group of friends

But the fixed shutter speed means it wouldn't work without bright daylight... A lensbaby on a dlsr isn't quite the same thing, is it? Even though the end product has the same look.
