My hair is getting long : Helios 44M-2 vintage lens
My lockdown hair will be six weeks growth on Monday !
It is just about passable !
This was shot with a Helios 44M-2 58 mm Vintage lens. I normally use the Helios 44M-4 vintage lens when shooting with a Helios, but I was reading that the older 44-2 can produce better bokeh. It's all subjective but this lens from 1973 has done a good job ! In 1973 I was still at school, doing my O levels !
Most Helios lenses were manufactured at the KMZ factory, but his lens was produced in the MMZ factory i.e. the Minsk Mechanical Factory. Founded in 1957, MMZ was located in Minsk, Belarus, approximately 450 miles SW of Moscow. Initial production was optical glass and the Smena-2 camera. In 1971, MMZ became BelOMO
@allie912 allison , we share the same hairdresser . All hairdressers have been closed since lockdown and are expected to remain closed for the foreseeable future "
Hello, young man. You look good and well suntanned. Looks like you are spending a lot of time in the garden. Haircutting is the least problem to me and I never cared if it came out right or wrong. Have been having my hair cut since I got married by my wife (who is and never was a hairdresser) and I find it very convenient.
You are looking good, mister! My hair is getting whiter every day and my Teenager is starting to look like an Aussie bottlebrush plant! Just imagine how much everyone will love their hairdressers and barbers when this is all done!!
Good to see that you're still smiling! I became a father for the first time in that year. I was also a Physics teacher but it's unlikely you were in any of my classes!
Your hair looks fine to me Phil....Harry has been grumbling about his too but I like a bit longer hair. We go to our nieces hair salon & I think she was hoping to open up in a few weeks time. She has a queue waiting of course.
@lostphojo no chance if being in one of your classes david ...i went to school in bolton !!! You may have taught my wife or sister in law ...did you teach at arnold hill ?

Hi Everyone, hope I've not missed anybody out . A week on from this photo and my hair looked even bigger / fuzzier, so my wife had a go at cutting it... well I back combed it and pulled bits through my fingers (a bit like my hairdresser Gary does) and my wife cut along the edge of my fingers . The net result isn't too bad . I think it might look OK once I put some Hair Gel / Product in it ! I don't think Gary need worry about losing this customer though . Have a great week everybody . Maybe a photo to follow tomorrow
