Not sure but I think I have seen something about Nikon adaptors needing a glass element in them dropping the IQ, may be worth doing some research before you buy, may be totally wrong on this.

Do you remember what aperture you used for the first shot?
So is the 135mm C.Zeiss Jenna recommend by anyone? What kind of money do they fetch via the bay etc? Has anyone any samples from the 135mm if you don't mind please... I must get a 42 adapter for my Helios 44/2 lens for my D810 and see what results that brings.
Appreciated

I record the exif manually using the Lightroom plugin 'lens tagger'. Actual aperture was somewhere between f/2-2.8 for the flower shot (it's a preset lens so not precise).
Indeed. Will have a look for that plugin.Ah, that makes sense.
Thought it was to do with mirror to adaptor clearance with some cameras,
You can almost hear the birds singing and the church bells ringing
Are we, as photographers, focusing (sic) excessively on performance?
I reckon we should be focusing more on the images we make.
Yep, there was that thread a few days ago by a newbie to the forum who was deciding not to buy the Sony 16-50 due to performance issues that weren't there.
The Helios can resolve 38/20 lines a mm, I suspect the Sony is twice that. (I'll have to check that though )
Is there any chance that the rear element of the Helios could be hit by the mirror? I'm talking full frame (5Diii), if that's a factor.
Unless I've missed it, nobody's mentioned this through the thread.

Superb images above......wOw. I've maybe asked before (sorry), anyone shoot this (awesome) lens on a Nikon D810 body...? Any problemsor...?...or just add a m42 adapter and away you go....?
Thanks;
