First couple of results from the Helios M44-4 58mm F2 (auto with aperture ring lens) having reversed the front element.
I quickly found a plastic sheet to make a spacer washer a tad too thick but just to see the outcome.

F2
There's some cropping and bags af PP. it has strange behavour, but frankly I'm amazed that a reversed element lens even can focus at all.
Not so many flowers near me here, I guessing that beds of colourful flowers will produce the the nicest looking images, can't see it being my go to lens though.
