RE: I found what I was looking for
the helios can be a challenge. You definitely need the light flaring directly onto the elements. Have yo done any mods. I flipped the front element on my 42. Increase bokeh but made it harder to focus.
Oh.. that's a nice one!
It was a challenge! I am not used to fully manual lenses at all. I have also tried some Takumars in the same time and for some reason, for me they were easier to work with. He is not a simple boy.
I also tried with the direct light with some cool flaring results. Not many though.
No modifications - not my lens :)
