Helios 44-2 + Anamorphic Mod on Lumix S5 — Vintage Dream Look?

Exploring a vintage cinematic look using the Helios 44-2 on the Lumix S5, combined with an anamorphic filter, oval aperture insert, and added halation in post.

This test covers three things: bokeh shape, lens character, and basic composition (leading lines, framing). It’s part of my ongoing study into creating affordable, filmic visuals.

Note: Visible white pixel artifacts are due to a sensor issue. Might need to send the camera in for servicing.

Nothing too polished, just raw, real-world experimentation. Sharing it in case others find it useful.

Location: Almere, The Netherlands.
