alt Hacker NewsWhat was so amazing about this company's soviet era camera lenses?
I googled it and all the pages were just this company saying "Yeah! We rehouse amazing soviet era lenses in modern lens bodies!" | Which is cool, but where's the "legendary" part of the story? Like, why would you want one as opposed to another lens?
Google "Helios 44-2 bokeh" and look for portraits with a blurry background. The "swirly" effect is the artsy element. Add the fact that these lenses were mass-manufactured back in the day and it means that you can get them pretty cheap.
