Helios 44-2 58mm f2 Vintage lens, adapted to Sony A7 and well known for its swirly bokeh. There are limited number of flowers in my backyard to try my almost unlimited number of vintage lenses so apologies if the same flower comes by a few times :)
One thing I noticed with this lens compared to the projector lens is that it renders colors nicely and has a surprising amount of micro contrast as well as center sharpness. I have not used this Helios lens a lot but I'm definitely going to do so moving forward. You can pick up these lenses quite cheap and only need an m42 to Sony NEX adapter. Everything is manual about this lens, including an aperture present ring.
