first and last one are great!

[Salatik]

Thanks! My favorite are 1,2 and 6

# 3 is my favourite, but I also like #1
They both could be easily featured on a fashion magazine.
I also like the toned down colours, they are appropriate to the environments.

Thanks! I've discovered some tone tricks in Lightroom, and I like a result. It's really looks close to magazine's style. I am glad to get this quality with lens cost around $35
I'm planning to buy SMC Takumar 55mm f/1.8, or Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 because of better performance with backlighting.

Can you confirm better performance? I think it isn't much better, those 1.9/50m are really nice.

[Spotmatic]

Are you pursuing a career as a fashion magazine shooter? Because these easily reach that quality, indeed. Very well done!

And I honestly doubt another lens will deliver better results, although the Tak might indeed be better in backlighting conditions.

they all look great to me. #1 & #6 are awesome. Personally in #2 i would have liked to see a little more light in his face to make him stand out from the background.

Thanks for comments! I've already sold this lens to my friend.
I've bought Pentax DA 35mm f/2.4 lens for a reportage but still using Helios 44-2 for portraits.
New DA lenses have awesome backlight performance.
