First, I am not a professional photographer. I just wanted to explore the world with my camera.

I am a lazy photographer and I always rely on Fujifilm's auto-focus capability and I am mesmerized by amazing bokeh as much as anybody would. That pro-like photo and subject separation is my Instagram photo inspiration.

This is why I was intrigued by the famous swirly bokeh of the Helios 58mm series. Output is pretty much as they claim it would be — lovely swirly bokeh even on striking ambient light.

It has soft focus, perfect for portrait shots

I have it for over a year or two now but I don't really use it much because it is such a drag to use manual lenses especially if you're travelling a lot.

I had fund playing with it but it is definitely not a go-to lens.
