I bought a Zenit-E to get the Helios-44 lens which was with it. This is the original lens that the Soviets copied from the Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2.
It's a pre-set lens and takes a bit of getting used to. Received wisdom is to shoot it wide open at f/2 for the distinctive bokeh, but the contrast suffers when you do this.
At f/5.6 it becomes a nicer lens to use.
The Prayer Book is Victorian, although the year of printing is not given by Cambridge University Press. Nor is the typeface. I should have liked to know both, but for £2 secondhand I can't really complain.

Il y a deux ans quand mon père nous quitté et que j'ai dû vider sa maison, j'ai retrouvé mon Zénith que ma mère n'avait pas voulu revendre quand je suis passé chez Nikon (F2). Elle l'avait gardé pour elle car c'est elle qui m'a donné le virus de la photographie. Elle avait une reinette Kodak.
La bague de mise au point de l'objectif Hélios est un peu dure à actionner. Il a dû tomber. Ce n'est pas grave car je ne pense pas l'utiliser pour refaire de l'argentique. Il est exposé sur l'une des étagères de ma bibliothèque.
