Helios has character, quirkiness and uniqueness while Canon RF is just simple, clean, and surgically sharp. This is how these two lenses portray reality. Great comparison, Irene.

I see that you fell into the rabbit hole of vintage swirly bokeh lenses after we met in Paris :) The next step would be to test out projector lenses that swirl like crazy, like the one I posted on my channel a month ago.

Tough call. Love what you did with the Helios, you really know how to play to its strengths and got beautiful results. The Canon is, by contrast (pun not intended), is so sharp and popping the results look almost AI - again very artistic. I think it comes down to taste - I think I prefer the Helios as it feels more imperfect and authentic, but that’s just me.

Love it! I've had the modern version of the Helios 85 1.5 for years. (about 10 years ago they re-released it with the same formula but on modern EF and F mounts). For those who love this look but don't want to spend $500+ you can get a similar look from the Helios 44-2 or 44-4 which both are M42 lenses that can be adapted. I also recently purchased a Helios 81N which has a Native Nikon F mount on it for less than $100 and LOVE it so far. It isn't as good as the 85 but is super light and works beautifully as more of a casual portrait lens when I don't feel like lugging around the 85 which is heavier than my 500mm wildlife lens. ;) Also, if you love the look of these lenses but hate how soft they are wide open, I highly suggest using Topaz Sharpen AI in combination with a Helios lens as it can make them look a lot sharper than they are. It won't fix the edge distortion but it will improve the overall sharpness of the main subject so long as you keep the main subject in the middle of the frame.
@KNURKonesur 7 ай бұрын
Don't forget all of those Helios lenses (58/2 and 85/1.5) easily cover GFX sensors for even more bokeh!
@JimShutterBug 3 ай бұрын
First of all, you are an amazing photographer who is a true artist with a camera. As for your question, this is just my opinion, but I prefer whichever lens gives you the look you want for that particular shot. I saw pictures where the f1.2 lens was preferable. I also saw pictures where the f1.5 lens with the crazy bokeh did the trick. I carry 2 prime lenses, and one zoom lens in my bag. I carry a 35mm f1.8, a 50mm f1.8, and a 55mm-300mm f4.5-f5.6 lens, because I never know what I'm going to get into when I go out. I use all 3 lenses, depending on what I want in a shot. When I go for a walk without my bag, I put my 18-70mm f3.5-f4.5 lens on my camera. So I beleive there is no such thing as a personal preference when it comes to lenses.

Use an extra long lens hood for the helios to control the flare and you will be able to shoot into the light and not get the bad contrast. with a long enough hood, you just have to tilt the lens down a few degrees to block the sunlight fromm hitting the front.

Big thing a lot of people miss with the Helios 85 is that it will cover a GFX sensor easily and can even be pushed to full frame 645 with some DIY skills for some ultimate bokehlicious background (the Biotar 75 will also easily cover GFX).

I think I take a pretty normal amount of photos 😂 maybe 800-1000 per shoot, it’s better to take more then less, you don’t want to miss a moment and it doesn’t cost anything. I don’t do anything particular to choose, just look over them and select my favourites.

I think for me neither stands out, in that they both have really good uses. In terms of the final comparison, I prefer the series shot with the vintage lens, but it's mostly because they are, in my opinion, the more interesting photos. If the situation were reversed I'd probably still prefer that series vs the other if you had somehow the lenses you had shot them with.
