Just as the title states. A Helios 44M-4 from the late 70s shot wide open on my Fujifilm X-A1. Picked up this little baby for $40 off of Craigslist

Thanks y'all. I have to say the capability of this lens absolutely blew me away. I mean, I knew the lens was supposed to be very good (it's a copy of a Carl Zeiss Biotar) but I was surprised just
how
good it is.

That looks great. Got to love the older lenses...at least they give you a nice depth of field scale if nothing else.

And a couple more. One more leafhopper (these things are infuriating to try and photograph) and a honeybee with an oddly white thorax instead of yellow.
