Finally after 3 weeks, which I was expecting, I got my new lens from Russia.

It is a bit tricky. I believe once I get to know it better that it will be one of my favorites. This is the vintage lens with adapter, Helios 44-2.

Beautiful series, Sandy! Looks like it won’t take you long at all!
Thank you Carol. Have been watching utube videos most of evening. Supposed to be good portrait lens also.

Beautiful work with your new Helios, Sandy! I love the color saturation. Very rich but not over-saturated. I'm going to order a Helios lens, but I'm not sure if this is the one, because I can't remember the number.

Thank you Donna. We are up late! Mine is Helios 44-2, 2.58 with adapter for Canon. I will look up info and let you know where I got mine. A Russian lens company but no problem other than 3 week delivery which is norm with standard shipping and going through Customs. Maybe ebay or Amazon would be quicker if you can locate a good one. Rather a gamble either way. Can't wait for you to get one. It will be a gem for you and your talents.

Sandy, looking good. I like the set of photos and the more we use these lenses the better photo we get.

Thank you, Sandy! I just found it, and it's the Helios 44-2. I'm going to check with Amazon today. Can't wait to try it out, but I know I won't be getting results like yours! I wonder if I can use the same adapter for Canon that I bought to use with an old Sears lens.

I am not sure about the adapter. Google sites as I did trying to find out info. I have so many questions as it is tricky to use as I said. It does not like bright light. On one of the sights I learned to put it on manual and also shoot with a high shutter speed because of light. I am not sure how much of my Canon 70d is connecting if you know what I am saying. Have tried to contact 2 Lil Owls as this blogger has posted beautiful shots with this lens. I asked for tips, etc. Hopefully I will hear from her and will pass on to you if I do. Keep me posted. Excited for you.
