Mir 1 37 mm vintage lens testing Helios 44 small brother

If Helios lenses had a small brother that would be the Mir 1 37 mm lens. This Russian lens from the Soviet era has some of helios 44 optical characteristics (swirly bokeh and interesting flares) but its focal length is wider. Testing was done handheld using a Sony a6000 mirroless camera and an M42 to NEX adapter.
