Can you guess which lens this is?

Whatever it is (I have no clue!) these are wonderful photos, and the lens looks to have very smooth performance indeed.

It's fast one. Wink

First, I thought that it might be a Jupiter-9, but the highlight bokeh is too quiet for the J9.
We can see a slight circular effect of the bokeh in the second pic, an effect that the Helios-40 produces.
And it might also be a very fast 50mm lens.

I cannot point at one model and say: that's the one. Sorry.

You've already told us that you are pleased with your Tair 11A.

Yes, but now he's showing us. Is it the Tair?

Bokeh smooth as Tair or Volna I rather think Volna or Leica f2.0

Tair 11A it is....
I know...i sound like bragging about this and that lens, but I just think it's sowonderful to be able to have this kind of quality lens for what may cost for a nice filter.

Here's one of my most recent with the Tair. Excuse the quality of the scan. Only adjusted for scanner washout. Certainly not the best photo but it has a nice quality oof.

Actually this photo has been discussed before!

The camera itself, an Ikoflex, is from 1937. I have to say it pays to have a pretty girlfriend - you always have a good model on hand! Well, at least when she wants to pose. Haha
