Helios 44-2 - Bristol North Central
1 / 12
This lens is always fun, as you're never quite sure what will come from it. It's fully manual, so focussing is the first challenge. And the loose aperture ring always delivers surprises when you later remember the old soviet labelling was the wrong way around. But it delivers a sweet vintage look. I'm not using it to it's best here - this lens has a fairly unique bokeh that these images don't incorporate, but I still enjoy the old look of the images it creates.
