I've been using an old Soviet Helios 44m 58mm f2.0 lens on my Fujifilm XE3 to explore its famous 'swirly bokeh' and characterful glass. Plus, I'm adding a tiny amount of grain in post processing to further enhance the classic B&W film look. I like the combination, even if the manual focus on the lens is agonisingly slow - it seems too damped to me - and I might struggle in capturing people in street scenes. It has a pleasing heft, too. #photography #VintageLenses #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome
