I'm feeling an itch
#14
Thx, Tony. But the 44 is already on the way.

FWIW, this guy here seems to be the (western) Helios guru - and according to him there's no real difference between the versions in terms of swirl:

He suggests that there may subtle differences in the bokeh due to the more or less recessed front element but in the real world, he didn't find it to be of relevance.

I settled on a 44m-4 because of the build quality and condition.

I'm not a huge fan of filthy lenses ... which will probably be my investment doom in this vintage adventure. lol

FWIW, at the moment I'm more interested in mild tele lenses. I'm addicted to corner sharpness with wider lenses and I think I couldn't stand wide vintage lenses. ;-)

After having spent hours on ebay, I'm amazed by the price levels of some lenses. IMHO no degree of lens character can explain price tags near new lenses but then it's not just about users but also collectors.
