Now since my Helios 85 has arrived, I am so confused which one to keep. Both are beautiful lens. Biotar has more sharpness - smaller - lighter - but expensive, Helios has thinner DOF due to its longer focal length - cheaper - but bigger & what a heavy lens! |
I kept Biotar and Helios-40-1 , Biotar is a good investment you can sell it any time if you are short on money. I have an early Helios-40-1 which is pretty much remind me to pre-war Biotar. I sold Helios-40-2 so I sold it to raise some money. _________________ -------------------------------
