Are Helios 50m f2 Lenses Good?

The Helios lenses have really grown in popularity over the last few years for their classic rendering and crazy swirling bokeh. But are they really any good? With all the awesome new third-party lenses out of China or Japan, the Helios lenses no longer get as much attention as they used to, but they're still fun lenses to shoot with if you can get a good copy.

I took a break from this blog but now I'm back. This wasn't by choice, but because I was working my day job while packing to move to Japan . . . Yep, I'll be in Japan for a while. Here are a few photos and an explanation as to how and why it happened.

Beverly Hills – The Last Oasis

Wow, ok, so let me talk about Beverly Hills for a little bit since I live fairly close to this place. Actually, my wife works down the street from here and while she was working last Saturday, I decided to take a walk with the stroller so my little 2-year-old could take a nap - this is where I ended up.

My family and I took the seven-day Princess cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. That was a week ago and we've been traveling through Alaska since. With spotty cell service and often no free Internet, this is the first chance I've had to post.
