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:-

Certainly, by f8 the image is very sharp:-

It's my first new topic post on here so I hope I haven't transgressed by posting too many images :-)

It's plenty of great lenses. Sharpness means nothing. You should also try the Helios 44-2, 44-4: great lenses as well with awesome bokeh.

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