Just a few autumnal ones with the Helios 44M
Lens: Guess! Camera: Pentax K-5 Photo Location: Duno, Doorwerth, NL

Every now and then I grab this old Russian lens, and every time I am surprised by the quality of the photos it delivers.
I know, it's dependent on your definition of 'good', but I think most of the time I like the photos with the Helios better than
the ones with modern lenses. Not so harsh, quieter, smooth, easy-going.... Probably just me....:ugh:

nice shots. I just recently snagged one of these lenses, 44m-2, and it's in the top of my favorites. So no, it's not *just* you. Maybe it's just us! hah, probably not.

For me, you've really captured the essence of the season, I can smell the leaves and hear the papery whisper as they blow along. Bravo!
