Nice series of shots, surprised no one has commented yet, that should change soon.

Sharp.....and very nice images. There's a lot to like about the old Helios. Cool

Thank you both. This is a nice lens.
It has a M39 screw mount and I adapted it using a M39 to M42 adapter, then attach it to
a M42 to EOS adapter. Then it will reach infinity.
The M39 to EOS adapter I have is too thick and the lens won't reach infinity on it.
However, I suppose it could be sanded down to the correct thickness.

Here is a link to the 13 blade version used on an A7, by "BurstMox"

Beautiful rendering from this lens and very nicely seen and taken.
All the images are soooo sharp.
The colour is cool to my eyes - maybe the soft light or is it a characteristic of this lens.
Not a criticism - I like it - just an observation.
well done
OH

Thank you. Glad you like the shots. I will have to take it out on a sunny day and see if the color is
still cool.

Is this a red P(Pi) version? The IQ hints that it is, can you post a picture of the lens? That would answer my remaining questions.
Thanks, feel free to post more images.

I have a couple.
I don't see a red P any where on the lenses and these both only have 8 blades instead of 13.
Here are photos. Sorry not so good.
