Description from the seller
Helios-44M (58mm f/2)
Functionality: Excellent condition: used only a couple of times, carefully stored at home as a collector's item at room temperature and humidity. It is fully functional and functional – the lens is clean inside, focusing and aperture are smooth. Aperture expansion is excellent across all ranges. The lens has been tested. The photos are excellent. I highly recommend it.
