So I have both the Helios 58mm and 85mm. They have fantastic swirly bokeh and I was wondering if anybody can think of a wider angle lens in the 35mm or wider range to complete my "swirly bokeh" lens set.
As long as I can adapt it to EF, I don't care what the original mount it.
Thanks! |

I have an adapted Helios-33, a 35mm f/2.0. It is originally a cine-lens if I am correct. The one I found was already adapted to LTM. Fun lens, but very prone to flaring. If you intend to use it in sunlight, you would need to make a hood for it. Will not fully cover a fullframe-sensor, but is fine for APS-C. |

You can get swirly bokeh with some newer lenses as well. I took this earlier today with a 7 artisans 25mm f1.8

You could buy a cheap wide and experiment with it.
Change the distance between elements, might even be able to flip an element. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

You could look into a Meyer-Optik Lydith 30mm pre-set, or it's newer incarnation badged by Pentacon (not the Pentacon 29mm, which is a different lens). I've only had mine a short while, still getting used to it. The bokeh is "different" to my Helios 44-2, but I've not seen the "swirly" bokeh effect on the Helios, either. I think there's a fairly definite set of circumstances which give that effect and I've not yet found them. |

Just be sure that you won't find an Helios / Biotar wide angle that will fit to your mount. Only retrofocus design are available to be used on reflex, and Biotar/Helios is not. _________________ Pierre
