Helios 44-2 58mm f/2 - best photo accessory for the money!

[JPR]

I've always been interested in older lenses, but never done much about it. I'm back in the UK for a week and picked up a Helios 44-2 (circa 1974) and a m42 to Eos adapter... And boy, this was probably the best value camera related accessory i've ever bought... it was 15 pounds!

I would highly recommended it to anyone, even for a bit of fun!

Here are a few test shots, first is f/4 second is f/2

Swirly bokeh, can't remember the brand but there is an old manual macro with similar OOF rendering.
