I bought this lens to member rawhead today in local shop, before I send it to Japan. I made some test shoots to check everything is okay.
Straight convert from RAW to JPEG, no processing, shoots are handheld wide open, temple was dark inside.
Canera is SONY NEX-3 ISO1600.
Click on each images to get higher resolution 1600px wide images!
You can see processed images here, I think difference is not much.

It was 325 GBP + paypal fee + shipping cost to rawhead. Less than half current Ebay "try" prices. _________________ -------------------------------

I never try Summarex , definetly not for Helios, this is lot sharper wide open and bokeh also different I have/ had Helios in multiply copies in all variants.
I read on net Summarex a bit soft wide open and poor in contrast too, this is sharp and not poor in contrast wide open. _________________ -------------------------------
