Known as Russian Biotar, Helios 40-2 was made using same formula, but the results are different enough to let it live on its own. I have to mention, that color shift with this lens was extreme.

To help this page survive, your donation will be highly appreciated. Day after day, I am teased by my friends and readers to recommend the best portrait lens for Sony NEX. This may be partially due to the absence of standard fast tele in E-mount, and partially because there are so many options on the…
Olympus E. Zuiko Auto-T 135mm f/2.8 Olympus E.Zuiko Auto-T 135 f/2.8 is a typical Zuiko lens of its generation.

Most time, it is just annoying.All kind of forum members, present all kind of different informations, so…
I just made a brief shot out between four 50mm lenses mounted on NEX 7. On the first sight, they seems like rather different breeds, but as I thought, field relevant differences, for the mainstream macro use - flower in the garden :-) is very small.4 lenses are:1. Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/2 Macro ZE…
