Pros: swirly bokeh amazing, brightness

Cons: perhaps a little heavy

Opinion: I bought this lens directly from the Helios website two weeks ago and the only thing I can say is that it makes the bokeh point across, that "swirly" which I love. I 'a little heavy, but I can handle it on my Canon60D best of 50mm, for me the best balance when shooting. I used it for classic photos of flowers and a wedding last Saturday, (portraits and details) and I was not disappointed at all. Perhaps it is a little "hard" but nothing you can not fix in PP. Made only manual focus, but it is not a problem. I'm so happy, I would absolutely recommend!
