...through The Helios

Taken a few years ago with Helios 44-2 58mm lens on a pleasant warm, sunny day...

A really natural-looking photo, Dougie. Very sympathetic to the subject, and perfect depth of field. Your wife?

Really beautiful Dougie. She seems so close I could almost have a conversation with her. Perfectly unposed pose. So natural.

It was a nice lens which I wish I'd kept....so many copies are poor, but that one was a good 'un...

I agree, very natural in all ways and the contrast suits the portrait well.

That's one lovely portrait! 10/10

Very, very nice portrait! I love it!

As I love the Helios, although I use it half as much as I wished....
