I finally got my adapter and am starting to like this lens.

I have a Helios 44-2 for a couple of weeks now. The bokeh is crazy!  Sharpness is ok a little stopped down. An example :

A few years ago I spoke to one of the sales staff at KEH, an avid collector of and expert on normal lenses. He said this lens can be very good but most of the examples on the market are not. If you want an example that performs as it really should, you may need to buy several before you find it.

You may be very right, but there is not a lot to complain for €15. By the way, the Helios 44-2 58mm is a Russian copy of  the Carl Zeiss Biotar.  My copy is sharp, look at the eye of my doggie in the first photo I posted in this chapter. Maybe I was first time lucky? ?
