Helios-40-2 Portrait

Here is a recent portrait taken with Helios-40-2 on Pentax Dslr at f/4 , full backlight ..., crop (25% of the original picture). I consider this lens is a pure marvel.

Fine detail on this lens! Always loved KMZ production! [:D]

Hi gilles,
always the same faithful model,… and the same talent![:)]

KMZ lenses are still perfect for digital cameras , here a picture of my town (Loire river) made by Jupiter 6 on EOS 5D( not so sexy as Gille's model [V] !).
for that picture I was at 800 meters from the bridge , shooting across the river.

Thanks Alain and Vlad ... I Often use these lenses (85mm) : Jupiter-9 , Helios-40 which are full usable on dslr's sensors. Alain , I just made the crop to show the performance of the lens, not to hide the "sexy" part of the whole picture ...[:D] No use to ask you "guess what is missing" , I suppose ... The portrait photogaphy is far easier when you have a model who like it ! I made over 10000 pictures of she .[:)]
The Jupiter-6 is one of the Russian M42 lenses I don't possess .However I find the Jupiter-21 200mm as good - perhaps better - as my Takumars 200mm (single and multi coated)

helios,
may be for you...? Xmas gift [}:)][}:)][}:)]?

and the "toy" :
( but Pentax bodies are also very fine for this game ) !
Not so fun at least than a old Zenit "C" [^][^]

Yesss.... ! I like the zenit "c" , but unfortunately, the shutter of my copy is broken ... It is one of my preferred SLR's !
