Vintage lenses paired with modern digital cameras can produce some lovely results, as I've discovered with my 50-something year-old Helios 44m f2 and X-T4.
Yes, manual focusing is tricky and, yes, the lens has weak contrast, but I'm really enjoying the way it renders scenes and it seems especially suited to black and white.
It gives a charming, classic feel to images with swirly bokeh.
