Thought it would be cool to have a place to discuss and share thoughts about this particular lens. Perfect portrait Soviet lens, KING OF BOKEH, the Helios 44-2 would probably be the most readily available and will give you the swirly bokeh you're looking for. Painted violet inside, it creates awesome anamorphic effect, despite the fact that it`s not real anamorphic lens.
