Because of Ms. Fraggy (you know who you are!) I decided to pick up an adapter so I could use my Helios lens from the good old USSR. I got one to fit my Nikon F-mount cameras. Several years ago I bought the Praktica film camera, which I really don’t like, along with the Helios lens. Rambling around the house and randomly taking pictures, I saw the sunlight through the plastic box in which my gouache paints live and liked the way it looked. Baggies, paint tubes, plastic – modern life in B&W.
Lovely job, my Helios is rarely off the camera now.
It really is a pretty nice lens – much better now that I am not using that clunky Praktica! Thanks, Fraggy.
