Jul 12, 2013 18:02 | #528 I am about to search for a Helios lens to add to my bag and in reading through all the pages I have seen several listed. I am not sure which to go for. I am looking for sharpness, "soap bubbles" and swirls. I hadn't heard of these lenses before reading this post, please direct me which to choose. I want lenses more than diamonds.

EverydayGetaway Cream of the Crop More info | Jul 12, 2013 18:14 | #529 Helios 44 lenses are all 58mm f/2, the second number denotes which cycle it was (if I remember correctly), the lower number the older and the 44-2 had a different optical formula than the later models, most people prefer the 44-2, but it costs a good bit more and is harder to find. To my knowledge all the subsequent 44m lenses had the same formula. Fuji X-T3 // Fuji X-Pro2 (Full Spectrum) // Fuji X-H1 // Fuji X-T1

I hope to bring home about 12-15 by the time I'm done here. Should be good trade fodder. "Complete quietness surrounded me as the dense fog smothered all sounds.

Jul 14, 2013 07:13 | #534 Vivitar 70-210/3.5 series 1 Macro on Canon 30D  This is the 1st gen/version, with the 22xxxx serial number making it the Kino/Kiron lens that many seek out...it's a tank... The only negative/concern I have is the very long rotational throw makes focusing more gradual, with less "pop," especially when stopped down as one must do on Canon... It does not have the quick "in and out of focus" I experience with Nikkors...especially the later AIS Nikkors...but... The color and contrast is excellent...next up will be some macro shooting...    100% crop  eagles are near 100% crop...
