Soviet Lenses. Helios, Jupiter, MIR and Industar Collection.

You can handhold it in front of the camera in Av mode and take some test shots.

This the first time after 30 years or so that when I shall be using the lens manually. I had used a Yashica 35 camera in the late 70s/early 80s.

I will begin with AV mode, as suggested.

M42 adapter arrived today and I mounted 77M-4 on my canon 550d and clicked a few images. I must say that the manual requires a lot of patience and skills but it could be fun if you get basics right. I need to learn basics. Here is the one from some 20 images I shot randomly.

Below is another one -

^^^^^ Looks good

Thank you. Though inside me I feel these are not good images. But I want to learn. Below is another one. I welcome your inputs and suggestions for improvements.

Here is two pics from 77M-4, straight from camera in jpg format. Am I on the right track of learning?

All with Jupiter 9 85/2:

Very nice, I love the mood!

Recently read about the helios lens and swirly bokeh, which interested me. By chance was able to purchase a Zenit EM with Helios MK 44-2 58 f/2.

A bit hit and miss for me with focus as my eyes are ageing, but lots of fun, on a 70D.

These are pretty sharp - how are you liking this lens? I'm thinking of picking up a copy for some closeup work.
