Biotar 2.0 58mm vs Helios 44-2

[Thomas Stellwag]

Richard asked how similiar these 2 lenses are. Thus I took a Biotar and a Helios and took similiar pictures, all wide open (on Nex 6). Do not expect a real comparison,  you´ll see, that they are very similiar in drawing and bokeh.

First the 2 lenses, then samples

Allways the first picture is done with Biotar and the second one with Helios.

Thanks for the sample. it does appear  that the Helios has more contrast
