I assume this was on a crop camera, but how cropped is this?

Good eye. This was shot on an *ist D, and I cropped about 10-15% from the right edge. The original framing just looked awkward to me.

Helios 44M4 by f/2,8

Here's a shot to try and get some of that famous swirly bokeh from my recently-acquired Helios 44-M, wide open. The stiff focus makes it a little slow and difficult to use on the X-M1, I suspect it'll be a bit better on a heavier camera such as the K-3 or an M42-mount film SLR.
