The Chance Was Slim

Found a Helios 44-2 lens at a car boot sale at the weekend ( I already have one, and love it, but wanted a 2nd to try something out on, so was pleased to find it for £10). It had a macro adapter attached to it so I figured I may as well try it out, but it had such an incredibly narrow focus with the adapter, I struggled to get anything much actually in focus!

Zenit B, Helios 44-2 (with macro adapter) and Lomography 800 ISO 35mm film.
Processed at home with Tetenal C-41.
