I made the mistake of buying a modestly less expensive glass ball before this one, and was very disappointed because the quality of the glass was awful. So it really did come across gimmicky, because it was such poor quality. With this, I've been able to take some fun, creative shots that are striking. The quality is great, the microfiber bag helps keep the ball clear of fingerprints.
Will it make you a great photographer? Of course not, but if you're an advanced novice or above, it will help you capture some interesting views, and once you've done that, you'll think of even more ways to use it.
I have only one caution: I made the rookie mistake of trying it on the dash of a car to get a shot in the distance. The sun hit the ball just right, and within a couple of seconds the dash started to smoke. Fortunately I caught it right away and remembered what happened with magnifying glasses as a kid, and before I burned a hole in it. Be careful with that and I think you'll likely to enjoy it. And do bother with lower quality glass - this is the real deal.
These can bounce and roll! Knocked it up pretty good today when it tried to be a bird but ended up bouncing down a cliff. Best part is? I might still try to use it. Think I will have to reorder but it didn’t shatter and until I can get a new one, it might actually be useable as certain angles. I hope. Love this thing. Ps. REALLY hard to find once you half leap down a cliff for it.

Best used with a macro lens, the Lensball has been a lot of fun to learn how to use. While I have the fear of causing knicks and chips in it because I don't do the 'handheld' type photos, it has been fun finding ways to make up for that with random things found within the area I am shooting. It takes practice, but well worth the buy.
Yes, it's heavy, and being in Seattle we don't have the powerful light that other buyers have had to deal with so the magnification of the light into fire hasn't happened I can see how it would. I plan on buying the smaller size for traveling further than around my own town, so looking forward to seeing the difference in that.
It was shipped quickly. It was shipped well. There was not a scratch and the box is not only beautiful but also very good for storage when not in use.

Pros:
- You can create some really unique and interesting shots.
- It resolves detail well and there is no haziness/cloudiness if you zoom in on the image inside the Lensball.
- Very well packaged and wouldn't be worried about it arriving damaged in transport.
- Very solid feeling and doesn't seem to scratch easily (accidentally dropped it around 5ft into dirt/grass and no scratches or chips after picking it up).
- Perfectly spherical.
Cons:
- To be expected, but this is a large, solid chunk of glass/crystal and it weighs more than you might think. As much as many of my lenses for sure.
- This is just the physics of light I guess, but I saw a lot of images with the reflection and background both right side up and am realizing they were done in photoshop. In general the inside image will be upside down to what you're seeing, and you'll have to flip the image if you want it right side up which can look weird depending on what you have in the background.
- Sometimes difficult to get a sharp in focus shot without a tripod.
Overall it's a very fun addition to add to the photography tool kit, but not something you'll likely use all the time. You'll want to use a macro lens or one that can focus close if you want the ball and scene inside it to be the main subject of the shot.
Also, be careful where you leave this thing and what you leave it on if exposed to direct sunlight; it acts like a magnifying glass on steroids when it comes to focusing sun rays into a hot point and could definitely be used to start a fire on sunny day (just make sure it's intentional if you do ;)). Best to put back in the protective pouch when not in use.

Also got the 80mm one but haven’t tried it yet, it’s a bit heavy for travelling but believe will get even better results. The smaller one fits unobstrusivelly in your pocket, though.
Only issue is a Lensball stand is publicised to be included in package - it isn’t, neither in the 60 nor the 80mm one. But for flawless built construction and packaging plus ease of use my rating 5* anyway.
