Description from the seller
Due to the end of my collection: a classic Helios-44-2 58mm portrait lens with a Pentax lens cap, loved for its unique vintage look and solid build quality. The Helios brand originally comes from Soviet factories (such as KMZ) and this 44-2 is one of the best-known and most sought-after models. This lens is worldwide renowned for its characteristic “swirly bokeh” and soft, dreamy image rendering at larger apertures. Ideal for both analog photographers and digital shooters (with an adapter). Thanks to the 58mm focal length, it is perfect for portraits, macro photography, and artistic shots.
Specifications:
• Focal length: 58mm
• Aperture: f/2.0
• Manual focusing
• Rugged metal housing
• M42 screw mount
• For adjustable aperture (preset) • Serial number: 80123867
Features:
• Unique “swirly bokeh” effect (very popular)
• Soft, vintage look at f/2, sharper with stopped-down aperture
• Beautiful color rendition and characterful rendering
• Perfect for portrait photography and creative projects
Condition:
The lens is clear, free of haze, fungus and separation and looks neat. Any minor signs of use appropriate to its age “as-is”. Focusing ring and aperture operate smoothly.
Special notes:
An iconic lens among vintage enthusiasts and collectors. Highly suitable for use with adapters on modern digital cameras.
