It has one notable trick - a built-in 'extension tube' so you can pull the lens forward in its mount for closer focusing down to about 48cm / 19".

Yeah, I've never been too into the look of any Lensbaby photos I've seen though I should note that the sample images on the DP Review link in the OP look better than most. The bokeh usually has this ugly smeared look to it though that is not pleasing at all. Different strokes for different folks but I lost any desire I had to buy one once I started seeing the images that come from them.
