Nice shots. I know what you're talking about - the soviet lenses are indeed great. I just envy you the 4AM and the Helios. I almost got one, but was thinking for too long, and the guy sold it just before I decided to grab it. :bang:

Thanks :) they are really sharp aren't they? But unfortunately I think the Kiev's high speeds are a bit dodgy, i bet the top '1250/s' is no where near that :) *obviously*! Even when new... also the slow speeds has a nasty knack of sticking the shutter release down and I have to take the shutter dial apart in order to pull it back up... with pliers!! *Apart* from that, it's nice and I like the Helios :) and the rather limited albeit accurate speeds of 1/30 - 1/500
