Blue Flax-44M-6 Shootout

            "58mmShootOut" 

This version of the Helios 44 isn't supposed to swirl as much as the earlier 44-2 series lenses do, but in this case, and this shot, I think the background has a lot more swirl than the 44-2 shot that is very similar. And I think the colors are deeper in this rendering, probably because of the extra coating that these late model Helios 44 lens got. The 44M-6 was the second to last version of the 44 line. Only the 44M-7 had more/better coatings. 
I like this shot a lot! And in this round, I think the Konica lens did very well, but I like this image better because of the swirls.
