I found that lens few months ago at the local fly-market and exchanged it upon my Helios 44-7 with which I had not been pleased at all. The lens was in perfect condition, like the new one (clean glass, smooth operation). It has 00 at the beginning of the number, which means the very first year of the production (I suppose something near 67). Which predicates the exceptional quality of the production. And the lens is really spectacular, especially like the portrait lens for the crop digital. There is one example (I believe it was completely open).

Why such a beautiful girl has defaced herself with that ugly ox ring, is something I can not understand.

Well, it is really difficult business to understand the women in general, and beautiful girls in particular. Especially the beautiful girls. I doubt that they really understand even themselves, to say the truth. But maybe for that reason they are so exceptionally pretty to the man's eye. Wink


To make the impression stronger, there is one more dimension of that beautiful girl (also the same lens, of course). Very Happy
