Helios 44m-6.
I am falling in love with this lens. It is stupid sharp, cheap, small, easy to focus, and did I mention cheap?

here are some quick tests I did a while ago comparing normal Russian lenses to a number of popular Canon lenses and a Summicron 50.

Any info on the Zenitar? I traded my Tokina 10-17 with the thought that I could probably pick up a Zenitar 16 f/2.8 if I really wanted another fisheye.Check here for pictures with the Zenitar and a Nikon D700:

Wow, some really funky bokeh with the Helios 44 f/2. I'm pretty tempted. Any one tried this lens on MFT?

Extraordinary portrait, congrats!
I always thought, I couldn't afford a M9 with new lenses, but having some old Jupiters, an M9 is financially not as far away as I thought.
Thanks for showing
