I'm using a X2 close up filter with my helios. The bokeh is amazing.I really like the bokeh effect wide open and the sharpness when you stop down a little bit
I ordered a cheap extension tube set I would like to try to shoot macro with it
I have the Helios 44M it have only 8 apature blade. But it doesn't really matter because the fun begins at wide openHow many iris blades does the Helios lens have? Is it 9 or moreBihari?

I like it open because of the bokeh effect and the softness gives an extra retro look to the imageWell I agree with you!
Mine has six aperture blades. It would be great if it had more aperture blades or a least if it were better rounded...
I also own a Jupiter 9 MC lens which has 15 aperture blades that are perfectly rounded. It helps because sometimes I close the aperture to f/2.8 to reduce the COMA and bokeh circles remain round!
I can do it with my Helios or Nikkor AF-D 50mm f/1.8 because the bokeh circles change to polygonal circles when I stop down.
The Nikkor has great colour rendition and better flare control, but is softer wide open that my Helios... If I stop it to f/2,0 or f/2,8 in case I have light sources that are spot, the bokeh circles start to be edgy.
So the Helios in an one way solution and I control the flare with lens hood and if it is not efficient, I use my hand for shade with focusing becoming real hard with only one hand handling the camera.
Anyway.

Beautiful!!!!I like it open because of the bokeh effect and the softness gives an extra retro look to the image
