Pros: Effects probably due to a process that makes each piece unique. Bulk, cost.

Cons: Fixed aperture at 1.5... (which is not provided on this site so the indications in this sense are all wrong), manual focus, availability... unavailable.

Opinion: What can I say... you have to like the portrait and the manual focus... being bound to 1.5... The error is there waiting for you. Then... against the light a disaster ... after all, it was born as a night vision device. Personally I have both the night vision device, bought but unusable even with an adapter on a camera, and the version with M42 mount, the latter perfectly usable on Canon. I often take it with me in the hope of catching the magic moment... and every now and then it actually happens... some photos are spectacular... it's a bit like the Foveon sensor... He does what he passes at that moment, but, like any star player when the time is right, he has no rivals. Believe me... That's exactly how it is.

Pros: Solidarned construction rnLightness

Cons: Difficult FocusingFocal Fixed

Opinion: I took this lens directly to the source, the night viewer he was born to. I use it with a Sony 77m2 and adapter ring, I really like the lens as a set portrait, so I take advantage of the fantastic bokeh in my opinion. The length of the ring nut for the focus is an advantage given the little pdc which makes it a slower lens. Rn

Pros: Mechanical construction, the fluidity of the ring focus, focus.

Cons: Length of ring maf, without diaphragm.

Opinion: Lens produced by the Rostov began as a military night vision goggles on the same optical design Helios 40 Being designed for this purpose, there is no trace of the diaphragm. In fact, it remains subject to any crock, only at full aperture. Not bad for what it costs (among other prices nowadays are about 200 euro) .rnL'ottica looks quite massive, only metal and glass. The weight does not err if my balance enough rinco, is about 800g. rnSalta immediately evident ring for attachment to any mono or tripod. Engaged by ring m42 / eos digital SLR, there is a good balance that with the machine. Focheggiando hand (of course, the lens does not have a motor for autofocus), the ring I found it with pros and cons. Is very fluid, but a bit too lunga.rnInfine I think the image quality is good. Being at full aperture is not stranitida but it does not suck. Besides, the focus is magnificent. Swirly like the little brother Helios 44 and with greater emphasis on the transition between fuoco and fuorifuoco. Very vintage shades, not contrastatissima as the new lenses but spectacular work for "creative."
