Guest ThePhilosopher Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Some test shots with my "new" Helios 44-2 (a 58mm f/2 lens) - SOOC except resize: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Remarkable images; especially the dragonfly shots! Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 The swirly bokeh is pretty unique to this lens in 35mm; I don't know of any others that do so off the top of my head. Pentax screwmount lenses are a good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Dragonfly is very cool! Seems like a nice lens...what would the difference (besides focal length) be between that and like a Nikon 50mm f/1.8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 It's a Russian-made manual focus lens. The Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 doesn't swirl like this either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 The swirl is cool - I just get little pentagonal shapes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Nice Bokeh I'm a big fan of short depth of field lenses. My personal favorite that I own is the Canon 85mm 1.2L--it's hard to use, but nothing else looks like it aside from a Noctilux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eunomians Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 That's true but I ain't gonna lug around a Large Format rig wherever I go! I don't even have a large format kit, lol. i guess those Lens Baby contraptions probably work the same way, with adjustable bellows. Kinda cool I suppose. In any event, I dig your pics.

redwatch Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Lens test drive #2: Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 non-AI converted to work on my D3: Did you add a CPU chip to the lens? Great shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 No, it's still completely manual - just converted to be safe to mount to a DSLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
