Helios 2,8/28mm | Prime lens

Due to the termination of my collection: a classic Helios 28mm wide-angle lens with lens cap, beloved for its unique vintage look and solid build quality. The Helios brand originally belongs to Soviet factories (such as KMZ), but those mainly produced other focal lengths (e.g., 44-2, 58mm). However the Helios 28mm f/2.8 lenses were not made in the Soviet Union in the late 1970s / early 1980s, but rather in Japan (and possibly partly in Korea). Ideal for both analogue photographers and digital shooters (with adapter). This lens is known for its pleasant image rendering with a natural color tone and good contrast. Thanks to the 28mm focal length, it is ideal for landscapes, architecture and street photography.

Specifications:
• Focal length: 28mm
• Aperture: f/2.8
• Manual focus
