Hi All

Here are a few portraits with the beautiful Helios 44-2 lens attached to Sony A7, Sony A6000 and Canon 60D

Two of the models are beautiful and the other one is me !!!

I am sure you will agree the lens takes great portraits, I've also had good macro shots and streetie shots with it too.

I think this one was rescued from the cupboard at our camera club or it may have been a £5-00 charity shop bargain.

The lens markings indicate the MMZ factory i.e. the Minsk Mechanical Factory.  The serial number indicates 1973
