Helpful Posts: Spent a few minutes in the back garden with my Fuji X-T1 and a Helios 44M 2/58. I couldn't get quite close enough so popped a 10mm tube on it so I could fill the frame with some dandelion clocks...

Re: Dandelion Clocks
One of these days I will bite the bullet and invest in a Fuji 56mm f1.2 - however - the results from the old Helios 44M will more than make up for it in the mean time.

Re: Dandelion Clocks
Very artistic! Though both images are very nice, the first one is especially so for me because of the background and depth of field.

Re: Dandelion Clocks
They get a good review on the Fuji forums - a friend has just picked up a mint condition Nikon 50mm f1.2 so I should be shooting with that over the next week or so. Originally Posted by tao2
