Hi, this is Helios 40-2 (USSR). Note that the same character of the picture may give also a LEICA SUMMAREX 85/1.5 and Carl Zeiss BIOTAR 75mm/1.5 but more these models are more expensive also... and of course have better contrast, sharpness, colours...etc

Yeah, I thought it was a Helios, but i saw in the picture details that it's an 85mm 1.4 . and I didn't know any Helios that like that.

I suppose though the picture doesn't look taken by an 85 mm lens.

Helios is very soft so it needs very serious post processing in sense of sharpness/contrast/colour, Note that aperture in EXIF is not correct. This is because I use a "Lushnikova's dandelion" this is a ring with programmable chip and there is no exact value equal to F1.5 so I choose the nearest value F1.4
