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.

@Silversalty 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.
