Seems legit to me, it should be part of an early batch made in 1992.
The body and lettering font are correct and of course there's not A/M switch.
Also, I'm sure it has 6 blades.
That's good to know. I guess I'll know when I use it. It should be sharp. Thank you.

It would be sharp even if it was a fake (maybe a bit less but sharp anyway).
Don't forget that fake Helios are another Helios disguised, and all of them are sharp.

Wow, that's good. I just hope there's some difference between between them.

Beautiful blend of colours and a touch of swirly bokeh.
Shot on a Pentax K-01, wide open.
The infinity focus was off, so I had to sand the washer inside the lens to compensate. Now it is spot on!

Ha!! Never heard of them before, otherwise it would've clicked, smart!

Nah, Seagull guitars are Canadian (made with actual Canadian wood) in La Patrie in eastern Quebec. They are pretty good, affordable and great sounding. It is the most affordable solid top guitar in the market. Pretty cool stuff

Many PF members suffer from multiple addictions.
