Hi guys,

Thanks for having a look at these images taken with a reverse front element of a Helios 42-2 lens.

I know it's weird and not for everyone likings.

There are few web sites where they explain the effect of this practice.

This is one of many:

I hope the images didn't cause too much dizziness or headache LOL

@hanhait: now you know where to check when you're looking for your glasses!

@Alex_virt: don't forget to keep some anti-dizziness tablet ready next time you might come across a thread like this one. (I know unlikely to occur!)

Cheers, best wishes and Season Greetings.

Ben
