See, and I think the Biogons have character...

I guess that I am so much not into equipment that I may think a lens has no character because I do not see it. Now I can see "character" in my Holga lens. And maybe in my Bronica 110mm macro because it is just unbelievably sharp. But not much else.

So I just scanned my Color-Heliar 75mm test roll, here are some random photos:

What can I say? I like it! The built quality is awesome, and I'm really liking having a silver lens on my black M6

Silent1, Great shots!
Wish I could share mine but the lab killed the film. Looking forward fo the next one to end.

Thanks! That's a shame that your lab killed your precious film!
I hate when it happens, that's why nowadays I develop on my own, if anything I can only blame myself :bang:

A couple of shots from the Color Heliar 75mm on my M2, I have got to be admit it was not 'love at first sight' but it is a lens I have grown into.

The little 75mm works very well on street-like situations

i love the lens for its size, contrasty images, smooth bokeh, short focus throw and incredible flare control

my other 75mm is the leica summilux so other owners will probably relate to the size, focus throw and flare parts

anyway, here are some images i love that this lens has given me

Oh - I didn't know, there was a thread, dedicated to this sweet little lens!

I really like mine, bought it a few weeks ago from a fellow RFFer here and liked it instantly for it's great size and handling.
I also like, how it renders in a more classic, pairing perfectly with vintage lenses, I like so much.

I wonder, if there is also a single coated version of this lens?

I would like to try one and compare, what I like most.

I don't use the 75 mm focal length very often, but the CV 75/2.5 has decided to stay with me for those few times I do.

Great shots! I LOVE that lens. (It's also amazing on the Fuji X-E1.)

I love this little lens. It has moderate contrast, great sharpness, and no distortion. Bokeh is also very nice and neutral. The lens is physically small, about the size of a fast 50mm lens even with the hood on it.

It makes me wonder why I should keep my 90mm lens (Apo-Lanthar).

I'm currently traveling, so I have nothing to post.
