Just found in second hand shop a Helios 44 in M42 mount. I was lucky they had two lenses and managed to test them on the spot with the EOS 1D4. As expected, there was a huge difference between them and I picked up without hesitation the older version with aperture pre-set.
I am attaching a couple of photos of my daughter taken last night, shot wide open, on EOS 1D4.

You are lucky with a daughter who doesn't run when she sees her father with a camera 
The Helios makes for an interesting portrait lens. Very nice pictures!

You seem to have missed in nailing focus on the first sample. The second one is just spot on. Beautiful eyes too. Congrats.

Thank you for your comments. Lucky to have such a subject - mostly is due to my better half. 
Due to its lower contrast, the lens is quite hard to focus, even with the AF confirmation chip in the adapter. |

I'd prefer these in B&W and a bit of a contrast boost. I like #2!
Is this the original 44 in m39 mount? Or the later 44-2/44M?
