The eccentric Cyclop, originally fitted to a Russian night vision scope; shares optical formula with the Helios-40 85mm, except without an internal diaphragm, thus fixed at f/1.5. Here I am posting pictures that best demonstrate the unique character of the lens, and also some shots that look almost as though taken with a normal lens. You will see that the lens is sharper than what you might perceive from the shallow depth of field. All shots taken at f/1.5 (duh).
