very nice series Olivier. Fine colours and bokeh.
My fave is #2

greetings

[Orio]

I vote for #1, good helios work

[Olivier]

Thank you both.

Orio, I always remember you telling us that wide aperture lenses are very good when closed a bit and photographers miss their very character when only shooting them wide open. You are right.

[symphonic]

Very nice samples! Not only it's big and heavy, it's rendering is very unique, bokeh is great.

Lovely results from a really oddball lens. I love mine and would not give it up
