Hi guys!

I am sending a couple of pics --

please, tell me your opinion if you see the same ...

the Helios is EXTREMLY SUPERB for its price! And almost sharp across the full frame...

Some links to FULL-RES pictures ... Smile

I do believe you are preaching to the choire here, but yes, the resolution in your photos are great. I have one (44M) and will be getting another (44, 13 blade), but wouldn't mind collecting a few more :-DDD

These are excellent results, Trifox!
Yes the Helios-44 can be a great lens if you get a good copy - if you get a lemon, it's cheap enough to be thrashed without regrets Smile
