Sale with a reason: Helios-44M 58mm f2 Helios 4

This is an auction for a Helios-44M, famous for its swirly bokeh.

In recent years, it has become one of the old lenses whose rarity has increased due to growing demand.

Some say that the swirly bokeh is weaker compared to the Helios-44-2, but the optical system is exactly the same, so the amount and depiction of the swirly bokeh are the same. Compared to the Helios-44-2, the focusing ring is larger, so I personally find this one easier to use.

Front and rear caps are included.

The body has some scratches, but I think it is in good condition for an old Russian lens.

The inside of the lens is clear, with no mold or clouding.

The focusing ring moves normally. There is a lot of dust and the aperture does not stop down to f16, stopping at f11, so it is being sold at a bargain price with a reason.

As an aside, if you don't have an adapter, I recommend purchasing a K&F Concept adapter. Inexpensive adapters that can be purchased for under 1000 yen may lack precision, and it is safer to purchase a reliable one. If you have any questions, please ask. I will answer as much as possible.

I am also selling other rare old Soviet lenses, and I plan to increase the number in order, so please take a look.
