Pros: | Nice build, compact for an 135mm/f2.8, long throw ... | Cons: | No Auto/Man switch, Nothing more until further tested | | Bonjour,
Acquired this "Made in Japan" Helios 135mm f2.8 in a Zenit kit purchase via French evilBay.
Nice build and seems slightly above average so far (nope, see "Edit"), but need to get outside and test further.
Thus, a "7" straight across the board rating for the moment ... test images to come later. Allez & salut, John le Frog EDIT: After shooting a bit with this 135, I am a bit disappointed ... barely average results, not sharp ... thus lowering to a "6" rating ... will try again later, but not too enthusiastic here ... J Some swirl ... ? Just kidding ... | |

Value: 7
Camera Used: Olympus E-PL2
| | Just an average lens.
It's been raining here for days now. Took few photos around. One can enlarge them see the sharpness.
I've use M43 camera- Olympus E-PL2 so the output can vary from other camera results.
Shot in natural and no extra sharpness. Resized. | |
