FOR KORKY

I copied this link with our Korky in mind, because I know that he too likes to use Vintage Lenses......

'I have recently acquired this one very cheaply, note, is is the M version, giving closer Focussing distance....

'This excellent review says it all......I can see our BP considering getting one too?....He loves his BOKEH and buttery backgrounds does BP.

Thanks, Fooj, that's a very interesting site.

I bought a Chinon 28mm for £20 on eBay a few weeks ago, but it never materialised. The seller ended up giving me a refund.

I'm now looking for something similar and the Helios looks great. I've had some superb results from my Carl Zeiss 50mm and I've developed an interest in photographing flowers.

Thanks, Fuzz, interesting stuff.

I think vintage prices are creeping up as more and more people cotton on to how good and interesting these lenses are.
