I Put a Legendary Vintage Lens on My Sony A7III to get the retro look, Is It Overhyped?

The Helios 44-2 is a legendary vintage lens known for its unique swirly bokeh. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s find out!

The retro/vintage photography look is in high fashion, and 35mm film photography is making a huge comeback. While some companies are recreating the nostalgic feel with retro-style lenses, there's nothing quite like the Helios 44-2 50mm f/2—a legendary Soviet lens known for its swirly bokeh and dreamy character.

In this video, I test the Helios 44-2 on my Sony A7III to see if it truly delivers that vintage film-like aesthetic. Does it live up to the hype? Watch as I put it to the test and share my thoughts, along with some sample photos!
