I'm reading this thread now... i made some shots with an helios 44k-4 mc, 44m-4 mc and a zeiss biotar 58mm f2 m42.
the latter was mine and unfortunatly has fallen into a river
.
i used helios on aps fuji, they are rather sharp @ f.56-8, ugly (UGLY i mean) borders and corners @ f2, but anyway not bad for portraits. bokeh seemed the same between zeiss and helios, full wide (zeiss had 12 blades, helios 6).
i have a shot for comparison between f2 and f8, i think with the k, here: https://we.tl/t-cKl2mpMFLd
full image, center crop, till extreme crop. i noticed also a strong colour cast with iris blades closed.
i think you'll have fun!
