Hello,

I'm looking for a Helios-44 like lens with good sharpness and contrast and swirly bokeh. I don't mind if it's slightly less swirly than my 44-2. Must be easy to find and not too expensive. Would be good if there are not too much sample variations. It can be either m42 or SLR mount.

I'm hesitating between:
- Helios 44-3 (is it really better than the others (external link) ?)
- Helios 81
- Helios 77
- Zenitar 50mm f/2 (I don't mind plastic construction if optics are worth the try)

What do you think about them ? Or maybe you have another one to advise ??

Thank you for your help
