Helios 44-2
I bought this lens years ago. I think I paid £15 with a Zenit camera. I had to throw away the camera as it was stinking! But I never took a photo, or at least I can’t remember taking it. The aperture ring was very stiff. The other day I remembered that I had it after I saw a social media post that featured the lens. I dismantled it partially and fixed the aperture ring, gave it a clean. I took a few photos today. Goodness me, I am very pleased with the colours and OoF transition.

I understand, it's really nice to take photos with those old Helios lenses. 👍
I like using them with various hybrid cameras
