I made a little comparison between my fast lenses < f:2
I forgot to include the Samyang 1.5/85 but it gives a comparison between old MF lenses.
I took pictures of a Tulip from the same point of view, at closest focusing distance with each lens, and each time wide open and then stopped down at f:2 (except for the Cyclop which doesn't have a diaphragm).
Here are the results (click to open in new window with better IQ) :
1- Helios-40 85mm alu preset version M42 ; closest focusing range = 0,70m ; 10 blades
at f1.5
at f2
2- Cyclop 85mm ; closest focusing range = 0,75m ; No diaph
at 1.5
One more at f1.5 for the pleasure
3- Nikkor S.C 50mm ; closest focusing range = 0,60m ; 7 blades
at f1.4
at f2
4- Nikkor S.C 55mm ; closest focusing range = 0,60m ; 7 blades
at f1.2
at f2
Under sunshine there's more or less glow wide open. The better on this point is the Nikkor S/C 50mm 1.4.
Just stop down to f2 and the image improves a lot on this point.
But glows is a bery inetresting feature when you want to do portraits or water paintings like photos.

The S.C 50/1.4 is not that expensive, and there are others that can do the job depending on what bodies you shoot.

The tulip flower has an aura about it in your Helios and Cyclop images. It's very nice.

Thank you Joseph.
I like a lot the word you use.
Aura : that's exactly the good word and express the magic of the Helios-40.
