Yes, I have a Helios 44m and it's a great lens - very sharp when stopped down and superb bokeh wide open

I've just acquired the above lens for the princely sum of £20 Meyer Optik Gorlitz Oreston 50mm f1.8 lens by Andrew R, on Flickr I'm aware that it's not the sharpest lens but that's not the point for me as I bought it for its bokeh capability:- Catkin - Meyer Optik Oreston 50/1.8 @ f1.8 by Andrew R, on Flickr Certainly, by f8 the image is very sharp:- Church - Meyer Optik Oreston 50/1.8 @ f8 by Andrew R, on Flickr It's my first new topic post on here so I hope I haven't transgressed by posting too many images :-)

My sentiments entirely - I hesitated to buy the XC 15-45 PZ as some users were negative - however, I've been very pleasantly surprised by both the IQ and the power zoom - yes, I would have preferred a manual zoom but this lens is a lot better than my recent Sony RX100M3. When combined with the X-E3 it's a cracking lightweight combo.
