It was a pleasure chatting to you Alex. Good luck with the series. Look forward to watching the next one!

Nice first video. I will wait for more. I like so much Soviet lenses that now I have maybe 80 of them or something like that. I don't use them for video, I collect them and sometime I use them on my Sony A7II. I particularly like the silver soviet lenses, they are so ... vintage :-). Keep on going with your series, there's a lot to to show, Helios-40, Jupiter-6, Jupiter 11 (one of my favorite little jewel), Jupiter-3, Mir-1, Tair-11, Orion-15, Russar MR-2, Mir-47M, many Industars, Cyclop (!!!) from night vision systems, and, why not? the famous Soviet mirror lenses Rubinar and MTO and many many other wonderful objectives.

I love Helios 44-2 image quality for portrait shots, its design and fact that its focus ring travels 270°.

Is the Helios 44-2 the standard lens that came with Zenit E cameras? I had one as my first SLR in 1975, but it was damaged by sea spray, so I had to buy another body. Basic of course , but Very reliable. Thank you for sharing.
