100 days - and a new Helios lens :-D

Today is my 100th day in this 365 project - and I'm still going strong and enjoying it very much… my initial goal of doing this project to get more familiar with my new cameras (both purchased in November and December last year) have been a success, so I couldn't be more happy with how things are going :-) - On top of this my second Helios lens arrived from Moldova today. It's a Helios 44-2 Zebra MMZ lens, and I'm over the moon about it... Considering it's age (it was made in 1969 or 1970 based on the serial number on it, N0034364) it's in absolutely MINT condition, no scratches, no cleaning marks, no fungus on the glass, and it even came with the original lens caps and storage container... what a find... of course I had to take it for an immediate tour around the garden :-).

Gear used: Olympus OM-D E-M5 + M42 to M4/3 Adapter + Helios 44-2 f2/58mm.
Stunning shot - looks great on black! Fav

So beautiful - love your focus on that bit of red! So nice that you are loving your new lens. Your photos are excellent so I think your time on 365 has paid off:)
