Shot this against the sun for effect, haven't used my Helios 28mm f/2.8 lens much since I got it a few weeks back.
It's like a soft image from the 1970's.

Great stuff I love Helios lenses, and after seeing this shot will be adding a 28mm to my M42 collection.

Japanese Helios that one ... Worth reading around the Internet about them ... I'm not sure there is a definitive answer as to where they are made or designed... ?

Not that that would or should detract from it ... Just intetesting I think. I looked at these before I setted on my Mir1 (which still hasn't been on an outing)

I got that Helios 28mm from eBay for £17 + postage, didn't know I won it actually, cheap as chips.

 

[Hamish Gill]

That's got to be a bargain!!!

Have you got any more shots from it?

No more images from the Helios 28mm at the minute, been a mad week here with getting both a new gas combi-boiler installed and a bathroom suite fitted, our house has been like a bomb site recently. Mega dust and upheaval etc...

Getting back to normal slowly.
