Helios 85/1.5

I dug out this old lens to fit on my Olympus OM-D EM-1, and took it out this morning to work in the morning light. When I started out on the journey to use vintage lenses, this lens was my first expensive purchase, and I have always been pleased with this one. This model is that black finish one from Krasnogorsky, and dated 1979. I have always liked the looks of the all aluminum M39 models, but at the prices they are running now, I would rather put that money towards something else.
These arent expert shots, but just something I thought to share with you all. I like that this lens, while favored for its swirly bokeh, can also produce smoother backgrounds under the right conditions.

The third shot shows off what beautiful bokeh that lens can create. Keep having fun and please keep sharing those pictures.
