And it does amazing with black and white photography. The lens is built like a tank! My copy is very smooth in the focus ring, and the aperture ring has nice clicks.

The lens was produced in the old Soviet Union by Jupiter among others from till and is one of most mass produced lenses in the world! So definitely recommendable for street, although you might want to go a little wider, but thats a personal preference I guess. Good day to all. Hi Jeremy. Very sharp across the board, at least on aps-c, unique bokeh. It's especially noticeable in backlit or overexposed compositions: note the glow around her nose, forearm, and coffee cup. That lens has the most amazing swirly bokeh. It was very intersting to read this note. PS: We don't spam! Do you know how many aperture blades your particular Helios has? None the less I decided to use the 44m on my nikon D, since I only have my kit lens.
