Recycling Project





 Helios-44M-4
Some  cheap lens can be funny to explore and results are quite amazing. This weekend I used a very comun Helios-44M-4  a 2/58 that cost me less then 5€. I get the camera Zenit 11 included , in working condition. 
Photos speak by themselves…

Sunday ,7.00am ... decided to go somewhere to a car boot sales around Bordeaux. Why not St.Selve? ... 
Turning around , while all old stuff starts to get out from the car boots, suddenly I could identify this beautiful wood  body covered in  red color leather.
No doubts , it was the German Tenax Tropical model from Goerz. After a small discussion  a fair price was found…Happy Sunday for myself ...
