ABOUT ITEM'S ORIGIN (You can SKIP it!)

 

HELIOS-44M is a standard coated lens with springblend aperture designed for Soviet SLR 35 mm Zenit cameras.

The lens can be fitted on the M42 Pentax cameras.

First HELIOS-44 lenses were borrowed from Carl Zeiss BIOTAR lenses and issued since end of 1950th years in M39, then in M42 screw mount, and had not very good glory because were with low contrast in common... But latest versions of HELIOS-44 lens became very sharp.

This famous lens was manufactured in the USSR, and features outstanding sharpness, contrast and color rendition.

I saw photos taken with similar lenses several times before and I appreciated excellent pictures quality.

In the main, most all Soviet and Russian lenses are exceptionally good and this one is no exception!

It can be used with a lot of digital Micro 4/3 cameras with simple and inxpensive adapter.

 

ITEM'S CONDITION:   EXCELLENT+

 

The lens looks fine, like very accurately used before, optics are clean, aperture "jumps" correctly.

However very minor cleaning marks or pieces of dust inside can be found (see the note below, please).

 

Aperture is smooth, focusing is smooth too.

 

Cosmetically the lens looks fine, just examine item's photos, please.

 

All functions are available.

 

NOTE: Soviet lens manufacturers wrote even about NEW lenses:

"The components of modern high quality lenses are produced from special grades of glass. The smelting process involved causes inevitable formation of gasses which get trapped in the glass to form bubbles. They are always noticed with complex photographic lenses. The bubbles do not affect the lens performance or the quality of the image. Soviet state standards also allows the presence of next minor defects: scratches with the width less than 0.02mm at each surface of each optical element with total length no more than double element's diameter; dots with diameter less than 0.3mm no more than 5 dots; several minor pieces of dust and no more 2 napkin fibers with the length no more 3mm. Therefore, the factory does not accept claims about bubbles and minor defects of clearance found in lenses or exchange such lenses. "
