Showcase Helios 44M - 58mm f/2

[saladin]

Mine arrived. 44-K adapted to the Gx8. First photos, wide open. The great EVF of the Gx8 really helps, even so it's tough to focus and its a bit soft wide open as well which doesnt help! lol.

It's actually fairly sharp when stopped down (2.8 on this one iirc) but still decent subject separation.

I'm going to have to stop looking at this thread. I had a 44 (a -2 I think) on a Zenit E in the mid 1970s. I lent it to a friend sometime in the late 1970s and haven't seen it since. The was a couple of East German CZ Jena lenses with it.
