>>2639901All samples here ( statue, flowers and birds) was taken with Helios-77M-4.
Helios 44-2 is less swirly, but very cheap. And quality spread is enormous, some lens can't be good, some are soft and awful.
44M-X series is almost the same as 44-2, but marked by resolution. 44M-7 is tht best.
And 77M-4 is usually pretty good from sample to sample. And it's pretty usuable from wide open,
