Thorsten Pöllath

Pair of original Soviet MC Helios-44M-7 58mm f/2 lenses for M42 mount cameras, produced in the late USSR / early post-USSR period (circa 1990–1992).

These are two slightly different production variants of the famous Helios-44M-7 series, well known among photographers and filmmakers for the characteristic “swirly bokeh” and cinematic rendering.

Both lenses appear to be in good vintage cosmetic condition with normal signs of age and use. Glass appears visually clean with no major visible damage. Focus and aperture rings move normally, although the lenses have not been professionally tested recently with film or digital cameras.

Specifications:
- Model: MC Helios-44M-7
- Focal length: 58mm
- Aperture: f/2
- Mount: M42 screw mount
- Made in USSR
- Multi-coated optics

Highly collectible Soviet lenses, also popular today for mirrorless digital adaptation (Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, etc.).

Please see photos carefully as they are part of the description.
