Swirly - Helios 44-2 (aka Wobbly)
I really like this lens but it wobbles when I focus. To use it for a month would make me crazy!

I know several folks who swear by this lens but I don't recall them saying anything about it being wobbly. Hmm...I wonder if it's just your copy or all of them. Regardless, that's one swirly shot with a wobbly lens. Nice effort!

Wobbly or not, that is a nice macro shot,Pat. Beautiful focus, It does a good job nevertheless.

Nice colours and texture, set off well by the shallow depth of field.

Very sharp. Looks like it focused good enough.

Mmmmmmmm, I like this a lot. Rich colors and great depth from the bokeh. Excellent, Pat!

Nice pop in this photo. I've always wanted to try one of these Helios jobbers but the cost of getting them to the USA always seemed too steep for me. Plus, I don't know which version to by (and I don't want All of them).

NIce pop indeed, and I love the tone too, so warm.
