awesome shots!
I tried to use this lens for macro photography.
hurrahhh!!!!!! I will be looking to more macro masterpieces from you. mind, that Helios is a soviet replica of a classic German lens by Karl Zeiss! also,-- Helioses are great, but particularly, Industars are even better (for macro). I am thinking about getting one by myself. look at this post (taken with soviet Industar lenses).

Thanks! I never heard before for Industar, but after your comment I searched for it. Only what can I say is WOW, this lens is from now on my list next to buy :) It's little bit hard to find in Serbia but it's still possible to find it.
Biti, if you checked that link I gave --
that lichen shots made with Industar + macro coils, not with a single Industar lense. but anyway. I am looking for them myself now ) they are about 3000 roubles, i.e. 50$, smth like that.
Yes, of course I saw this post, if i'm not mistaken that macro ring is 10mm. I also checked out If I can find that lens in Serbia and on my luck I can with price about 50-70Eur.
I am ashamed to say this (dont lol at me) but I do not understand anything about macro rings. I have three rings (got them as a bonus to my Sigma), but I did not understand what benefit I can get, I did not understand what they give ... sadly...
well, I wish you can afford it, sooner or later, and it will help you to make another little (or maybe very big!) step forward and photo-skills level-up!
