Helios 44-2 bokeh with a Hoya +4 macro lens/filter
Helios 44-2 is an amazing retro lens capable of the famous swirly bokeh. In this video I test the Helios 44-2 together with a Hoya +4 diopters macro lens that I attach to my Helios 44-2. With this combination I’d like to see what kind of bokeh I get when I photograph a Christmas tree. I used F-stop 2 for all photos. I photographed both hand-held and from a tripod. My camera was Fujifilm X-T30 with Velvia film simulations (color set at -1). I then applied a custom LUT to my photos. The results I got with my Helios 44-2 and the Hoya macro filter were nice. I certainly recommend using Helios 44-3 with a macro filter /lens.
