Prominent Soviet lens Helios-44 58mm f2 with an M39 SLR screw mount, based on the famous Biotar 58mm.
It can be used with M39 to M42 step up ring and M42 adapters but not with M39 adapters for rangefinder cameras.
The early version with 13 aperture blades and zero in the beginning, the serial number is 0205933.
The lens is in excellent working condition with visible signs of use on the body (see photos for details). The optics are clear, without damage, fungus etc. Some usual for old lenses dust inside and a couple of tiny air bubbles, allowed by those times standards that can not affect image quality. The focusing is working well. The body darkened because of age.
Comes with a cap.
I tested this Helios-44 lens with a Canon DSLR camera and it worked as should.
The lens fits modern cameras using a special adapter.
49mm filter
13 aperture blades
Aperture range 2-16
