A few new shots from Helios 40-2:

Color of the skin on the shot №2 is ok? The skin is not in cyan tone?

From yesterday i have MIR-10A 3,5/28.

@ suro - i think second shot is just litle overexposured. Color is ok to me.

I decided to search for some information regaeding these Russian lenses and came across this thread. I must say, these are some of the best photos I have ever come across. Congrats to a ll the posters.

Now, to check eBay....are there any other places to buy these lenses. I like the Zenitar 16 fisheye and Takumar 85 2.8 specifically.

My first test shots from the 58mm f2 'kit' lens

And with the raynox 250 attached

I posted these in another thread but they belong here with all the other Soviet beauties...

Beautiful images Gus! All of them! Helios-44 is one very underrated lens which delivers dreamy images with a great character.

Thanks for posting!

Igilligan · 11-07-2008, 05:44 PM

Thanks Voe... I was not expecting a lot from this lens, but have been very happy with its 'look'.... It is definately one of my new faves.

Next up some from my first few days with the Jupiter 9...

Igilligan · 11-07-2008, 06:26 PM

Love this lens...

A couple of schnaportraits

And some macros with the raynox 250 attached

And a parting shot of Bob the wildcat thru slats of the fence...

Did I mention... I am loving this lens...

Cheers,

Ok back to the Helios-44M

I cant get enough of this easy to use 58mm F2. Even wide open this thing is pretty sharp. Not bad for a 20 dollar lens.

First a couple of Schnaportraits of my friends.

And a few more from last week

The last three are with the raynox 250 attached...

LOVE THIS LENS
