Having played with lens soft mod (custom filters), I wanted to try opening the lens for fun and see results of a custom mod. Result you see here is a modified Helios 44M-4 for swirl bokeh. Swirl was good but too much of flare. Lens is now back to it's original element positioning :)
I like this one very much, Hope I can deliver better than this next time.

I tried to find a way to sync flash with the Speed Graphic lens. I can't find any UK suppliers of a bi-pole to PC sync (female) cables - only one based in the USA, which would cost around £25. So I spliced a spare PC sync male to female cable and used two bits of (slightly cut down) electrical 'choccie block' to secure the wires to the bi-pole connector. It seems to work perfectly! :-)
