My opinions on the lens -

The Helios-103 is a massive suprise to me, i cant believe how amazing this lens performed (so much so, i kept a copy for myself) 🤫

Lets start with the most interesting characteristic - bokeh. A perfect blend of vintage and modern i think, lots of bubbles at times and closer up, the bubbles tend to smooth a bit or not as defined around the edges

Colors are gorgeous, quite saturated straight from the lens and with a touch of warmth ♨️

Sharpness wide open is actually very acceptable, and becomes super sharp as you stop down, being sharp across the frame at around f8 or so 📌

Flare resistance is 50/50 - some veiling and drop in contrast but not a huge amount. Flare veils are a blue/purple color too which i think is awesome 👌

I dont think this'll last too long 😉
