I'm so happy to see you're still around and that you're online. I have recommended your comparison video about Helios 44-2 lenses to so many people over the years, I've lost count. I went out today and took photos with my KMZ Helios, bought from a seller in Ukraine, and for the first time, managed to get the swirly bokeh to work. I thought of you, so I looked and this has really cheered me up.

Very interesting adaptation for film-makers of a great old lens - swirly blurs in motion! So glad to see you're back at the old stand in spite of all this horror; it's far from over, of course, and we in our free European countries need to support Ukraine in every way possible, especially militarily, since Ukraine is fighting for its freedom AND ours. The video shows your family is well, which is very heartening. Слава Україні!

Generous starting price , when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was not so enormous, maybe the size of a 44m. and that I would have difficulty importing one from russia. To keep my collection up to date. You made it great work, would have liked to see how it's assembled. I like video , I don't have the equipment it's designed for.

The same lens with a wider focal length would be awsome. Would it be possible to change the focal length of a lens when rehousing it just by moving the lens elements or would you have to add new glass to accomplish that?
