Equipment Type: Lens
Equipment Brand: Helios 44-3
Equipment Model: HELIOS 44-3 58mm F/2, M42 Mount to Adapters - Sample Photos
Price (S$): 120
Description:
The most sought after of all Helios 44 series, a 1993, 8 bladed Multi- Coated Helios 44-3, M42 mount in spotless condition. The Helios 44 series has the same optical formula as Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm f/2 lens. Thanks to the Russians who brought this Biotar formula with them from Germany after end of World War II.
Focus from 0.5m to infinity with any mirrorless via adapters and Full frames. Always kept in dry cabinet and used occasionally. Clearing some lenses to make space for my dry cabinet. The world simply got too many legacy lenses to play, despite having played lenses for over 33 years, haha...

No scratches, fungus nor Haze, perhaps, just see a speck of hair line dust outside the centre of inner elements. Not affecting image quality, still take sharp when stopped down and the gorgeous swirly 8 bladed bokeh being unique to this lens. The focusing is smooth and light and preset aperture allows clickless aperture adjustments for aspiring cinematographers.
