My cat ( 1DII + Japanese Helios 135mm f2.8)

[Dores]

Shot with my canon 1D Mark II + my japanese Helios 135mm which is damn sharp. Shame I can't remember whether this was F2.8 or F4. No sharpening applied.

Thanks! I must have been quite lucky with my copy of this lens. Got it on ebay for something like $30, and it was made in 1983. The focus turns perfectly and smoothly, and everything seems to be working perfect it in.

This just blows every AF lens I've owned right out of the water!

I have one Helios 135mm too, it is good indead except full open in backlight situations, then I get a really strong purple fringing.
Your pictue of the cat is very nice!
