Today, just from the hands of a Photographer buy this lens.
Cloudy today, I go to the park to test the lens.
These photos late to adjust color and size.
Another update

Nice shots... but as we all know, this is not a true Helios, but a Japanese fake!
A real Helios has quite a different character.

What was this taken with, "fake" or "real"?

Not a great subject, but one of the first test shots.

Just a little note:
It's not that it's a fake, it just bears the se name as Helios-44 and Helios-40 etc, without having any connections with them.
Anyway, I saw many samples from this lens around (including these) and I must say it is well above average.

Beautiful rendering, especially of the first image.
Most if not all 135mm lenses are good, the optical scheme is standardized and very simple to build.

Hmm... there isn't really a 135mm Helios lens... this doesn't look like a Helios, but I can't tell 100% because it looks like f/4 or f/5.6, and you lose most of the "swirly bokeh" by those apertures.

It was taken with this, a Japanese made Helios lens and probably my sharpest manual lens, including Zeiss. This photograph was taken with a Helios 44M-4.
