Sharpness generally looks good on this except for upper right stone work. I'm wondering about your process of going from negative film to digital image.

@Silversalty It's the lens, it's flawed.

But this image has decent sharpness. Deep corner blur is fairly standard.

I suggested that but the image I based that on had a very strange pattern of blur.

I was never a fan of third party handling of my film. I've seen greasy hands handling my film. Once.

Ah, that was you. Well, it's a consistent defect among the pictures taken with Helios, and not present in pictures taken with the Canon FD lens, so I don't think it's the scan that's the problem.

I've have in the past given up on poor lenses. I had a Nikkor 50mm f1.4. Later I got a 50mm f2.0. The 2.0 was much better in low light and only really half a stop slower. I sold the 1.4.

@Silversalty The Helios works just fine for up close portraits where the edges are blurred. I will simply not use it for landscape photography anymore.

Which Adapter do you use and does it only work with a closed aperture.

@macke_47 M42 to FD, and as far as I'm aware has no effect on aperture. I've shot with f2 through it.

A that 's the trick with aperture. And M42 lenses are a good wild card to be adapted to nearly every lens. I've bought two M42 lenses together with an old Practika recently. One of them has kind of an A-M Automatic-Manual switch to close the aperture.

@macke_47 I don't think automatic works with a mount adapter, I've been shooting manual.

I heard something similar. My father had a Fuji he could use his old M42 lenses with an adapter, but only in manual mode. The aperture had to be closed with test button on the camera.
