If you’re waiting for what the title of this post is about, here it is.

Helios 40-2 85mm f/1.5 M42 MC Lens

Don’t worry, the lens itself is not scratched up, it’s just the filter applied when I took it with Instagram.

An old Russian lens. It’s actually belongs to a friend of mine. When I saw it I was like “what is that strange contraption you got on your camera?”. Because all I saw was this big silver tube with screws! Of course, I asked if I could give it a try. A manual lens. It has three rings: focus, aperture, and “open/close”. The open/close feature ties in with the exposure. Anyway, I was playing around with it and took a photo of my comrade (yeah he’s Russian), Mikhail. He tells me stories about Russia and how they drink Vodka as water! Well, mainly because vodka there is cheaper and almost the same price as pop.

Pretty cool huh? Its an 85mm lens and I could get closer to my subject than the Canon 85mm f1.2.

Oh! And I’m also going to do a little bit of update on my blogsites :). You might see a few changes but it won’t be a BIG revamp. Just tiny weety bit of update.

Have a great weekend!
