I have a copy of it. AF hunts a lot if you don't nail it first go and IQ isn't too much to shout about. It's OK but that's about all. I have the manual version too with the fiddly aperture ring referred to above. You can have it for a tenner +postage?

Wonderful detail. How are you steadying it? On a beanbag? When I get a minute or three I must try this with my 300mm

The following weekend, I'd love to do it but I can't make this one

Just keep trying out the old glass - it's great stuff - especially the Helios 44M series (which need a small, easy, surgical intervention to make their apertures work)
No 2 is really startling; you only ever see this in colour.
I think you need a screw-in metal hood for that 55mm. You can get away with the long, Takumar 135mm one using a crop frame camera

That was a particularly attractive moon. I took one earlier that afternoon when the sky was its normal bright blue. That dark sapphire blue is gorgeous

It doesn't have the sharp meathooks that the earlier one sported, so this has to be in its favour.
Super picture of it

I used a 7 element Kenko for a long time and then I got a Pentax rear Converter-A 2xS. It hasn't got AF but the IQ is quite amazing.

It would probably try to BBQ you - have you checked out those sharp hooks on its feet ?
And the one on its nose makes it an evil weevil whatever fatspider says about it !
