Helios 44-2 58mm F2 Russian Lens for Sony E NEX (for E-mount cameras)

Product Information

The main drawback of this lens is its “preset aperture,” which can make aperture selection a nuisance. The lens has longitudinal CA across the whole image that is reduced by stopping down, by f/4 it is at negligible levels and completely gone by f/5.

The Helios’ 58mm focal length is at the longest end of the definition of the 35mm “standard,” which ranges anywhere from 35mm to 60mm. checked your piece on the industar 61 l/d, and it’s the same text more or less, with the lens name changed. Und das gute Zeiss Pancolar 50mm ist zu kostbar für den Alltag, das nehme ich nur für besondere Zwecke, z. I’m not particularly great but have always enjoyed the hobby, and find it encourages me to stay out on longer walks which is good for the health.

Everyone has their own way of traveling, but I think your gear has to be ready for a sudden rain and has dust resistance (imagine going to a beach). Well, most of the people shoot with popular cameras and lenses, as a result, the images look similar. The lighting in this location was causing an overpowering lens flare depending on what angle I was shooting from.

For me this is a consideration, but if you’re not interested in close ups with round bokeh balls it’s a minor concern. If your camera doesn’t depress the pin at the moment the shutter is released (and unless it’s an actual M42 film camera of a certain era, it won’t), then you’ll be stuck with a lens that’s permanently wide open, ie at its widest aperture of f/2.Unfortunately my copy produces only very minor swirl bokeh or I have not found the right recipe yet. The uncertainty would double and at the end they should get more than half of the lenses and half of the cameras that don’t match anything. there are 3 sub-versions of the silver Helios-44 M39, the earliest one with 13 aperture blades and the aperture range 2-22, then the one that you reviewed, with the aperture range 2-16 and the last one with 8 aperture blades. Out-of-focus areas look unusual and swirly effect adds additional accent to the subject in the center. The problem with infinity focusing might be due to Zenit’s M39 mount having a flange distance of 45.
