Nice photos. It reminded me of some photos I took recently with my Helios44-3:

Been lurking here for days and absolutely amazed by the output of these Soviet/ Russian lenses, not to mention, the depth of knowledge and exceptional skill of all posters. It has been a learning experience.

Picked up my first Soviet Lens. a Tair 11A (135mm f2.8), Beautifully built and with good good cosmetics. a few specks of fungus, which should not be too hard to get cleaned. Focus ring a tad tight for my taste, but will send this to my favourite technician here in Kolkata soon. For 35 USD equivalent...how bad can it be?

By the time I reached home, it was already dark. Was fiddling with it on the Kx. Just a test shot.BTW my first pre-set lens and thanks to you club members, I think I managed to get the hang of it.

Even wide open, this appears sharp...

Look forward to using it in proper daylight.
This was 1/15 sec, f2.8, ISO 400 handheld on Pentax Kx

What a wonder lot of photographers. The lenses help..sure...but....lenses don't take pictures by themselves...
