My Helios 81N has finally arrived from Russia. Spotless glass and only minor barrel wear. Very compact (think Nikon E series 50mm but weightier). Nice smooth focus. Now the fun bit starts...

Right on Lucis - really beautiful OOF and seems very sharp. Must check this one out too. Is there no end?

I'm quite impressed with it - a little veiling flare prone but great otherwise. It's the standard lens for Kiev 19's so can be picked up complete with body for around 25-30 gbp...
