Advertisement Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Hi Beena22, Take a look here Trying out my Jupiter 3 . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Robert M Poole Posted March 2, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 2, 2017 Looks sharp enough. How's the focusing? www.robertpoolephotography.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus Posted March 2, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 2, 2017 Mine does flare quite easily, and often seems to give a yellowish-greenish cast to the image. It works quite well for BW though, stopping down or wide open. And occasionally it surprises me pleasantly with a colour photo or two some from mine with the M9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour in the TVR shot is lovely. Not sure about the reptilian paint job though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Poole Posted March 2, 2017 Share #11 Posted March 2, 2017 On my Fuji XE-1 I loved buying old lenses to try out. My favourite being my Helios 44-2 Not Leica so I'll post the links rather than pictures https://flic.kr/p/vb56PU https://flic.kr/p/uvk7eF https://flic.kr/p/v67Fpr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beena22 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share #12 Posted March 3, 2017 I had an XE1 and I did exactly the same thing Tried old Industar lenses, Rokkors, Jupiters, etc. I never got around to getting a Helios. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beena22 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share #14 Posted March 3, 2017 A lot of people seem to like those Helios. I might get one some day to try on my A7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Poole Posted March 3, 2017 Share #15 Posted March 3, 2017 A lot of people seem to like those Helios. I might get one some day to try on my A7.I bought an old Zenit E SLR which came with the lens. It was cheaper than buying the lens on its own! www.robertpoolephotography.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentShutter Posted March 3, 2017 Share #16 Posted March 3, 2017 Robert if you ever get the chance to try a Nikkor Q 2,8/135 - for portraits it´s the best Bokeh I ever found ! Smooth and silky and sharp to the point at f 4,0 almost on mechanical level like Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Enkel Posted March 3, 2017 Share #18 Posted March 3, 2017 I have been intent of obtaining a f3.5 50mm Elmar for use on both my 111F and/or M8 to replace an f2 Summitar. However, the quality of all the imagery at this thread, but notably the superb Market scene, is giving me serious second thoughts! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
