Today arrived the helios 40 that I bought from ebay
Click here to see on Ebay
It is in mint condition from my view  I really can not tell you how happy I am with this one. The coatings are perfect, Aperture and focus smooth, and blades have only a tiny bit of oil. The custom mount reaches infinity and is very robust. This weekend I have a shoot with a very pretty girl. If she gives me release I will post some shots for you all to review 
And a first in shipping:
13 days from Kiev to Washington state

OK here are a couple from the shoot friday night. I'm not going to be able to post anymore with the Model (one more in another thread). Lets just say it is for personal reasons.   These are in extremely low light with high iso and have been quite stylized in PP to compensate. Some of you will not like them at all due to PP methods. Please speak freely however. The opinions are all worth hearing.

A couple more full lighting shots to show you the typical character of this lens. My conversions still need help. Maybe someone could put up a little tute for RAW to Jpg workflow. For some reason I'm still not getting it.
