I'm hopeless...

Well, maybe not, but I sure got the bug 😉

Just three days ago I received my "new" leses for the M2 - a Jupiter 12 (35/2.8), an Elmar C (90/4) and a Hektor (135/4.5). Did some tests, and everything seems OK. 90mm Elmar is particularly good for portrait work - got some nice portraits of the kids.
Hektor is surprisingly good - if you take into account that it sure looks like a real dog, and that it cost me all of about $35 🙂
Jupiter 12 is OK, but I still remember the fabulous shots I've taken in the camera store when testing lenses to buy with my "new" M2 - I tried the Summilux 35/1.4 ASPH... What a lens! What photos! What 3D!... Well, at about 1/25 of the price of Summilux 35/1.4, the Jupiter 12 will do 🙂
And just today I got a nice late Kiev 4AM with Helios 103 - for about $35. Lens looks great, and the rest of the camera seems to be working OK.

And it's not all - I'm expecting an unusual find relatively soon - one which will need professional help, since it will come in pieces 🙂

Seems to me I really need professional help - given that I don't even have the time to shoot with everything I've got...

Attached shot is with Elmar C (90/4) at about 4.5:

Beautiful shot Denis. Reminds me that I still want a 90. 🙂

Beware, you'll end up like me - a serious case of GAS 😉

The one I got (Elmar C) was intended for use on CL or CLE, I guess - it's rather thin and compact, scuffy on the outside, but with good glass - I paid about $200 for it. Could be faster, though - it's 90/4. Still, the photos do look nice.

Good looking pic, Denis... pleasant background, soft lighting gives a fine 3D effect, good pose. 🙂
