This is the fourth time I come back to these pictures and I'm absolutely impressed about colours and bokeh. Wonderful!

Michael

Stunning picture - I can only repeat: "wow". Shocked

After all those talking about Helios 40-2 I can't resist to take it with me during a trip to the open door day of a local apple farm.

All taken with Canon 5D

Beside of the nice images I have to say: it's a very beautiful city as far as I can see.

I've no planar in reach, so I can't help with a comparison. I can only confirm Orios statements about the Helios 40-2. My copy is sharp as a knife in the center even at f1.4 - if the light conditions ...

Zenitar on 5D, no correction, no postwork except for sharpening. Out-of-the-lens colours!

I've sold mine a few weeks ago. For me it's a difficult focal length. The Volna was too slow for portraits and macro isn't my kind of photography. And in direct comparison my industar 61L/Z is sharper ...

Guido, fascinating image. I like the stylistic language, the very reduced color, the room for imagination. Real piece of art.

Michael

Michael, are you sure about that? I didn't expect the difference to be so huge.

Yes, I'm sure Very Happy

He! No Mir-1? No Zenitar? No Mir-10A? No Jupiter-21M? No Jupiter 9? No Helios 40-2? I'm really disappointed about your choice... Twisted Evil

Michael

You have to restrict yourself to one mount and one origin. I was often in verge of buying a Volna 3. But a little voice from the left said: "Michael, only russian M42. Stop it. Now!" :shock ...

I think I have to do a second test with ef 2/100 and helios 40 1.4/85. My EF is too contrasty, too sharp and too cold for my taste. Very Happy
