Digital Pictures taken with a Canon 500D at ISO100 and I used a M42 to Canon mount adapter  Bokeh
Flare Can get quite a lot of flare.
More sample images can be found at: http://www.sample-image.com/helios-44-2-58mm-f2/ Filming  Really good! Very solid and well put together. Conclusion Famous lens that is renowned for its nice bokeh and I can't say that i'm disappointed there. Also seems to be popular to use as a macro lens with extension tubes. With great center sharpness and nice bokeh makes this lens is ideal for that. Most parts a great lens but not at everything. Thumbs up: Bokeh Center sharpness Thumbs down: Flare Corner softness wide open Want to help
