Rare Soviet lens MC Helios-44-3 58mm f2 with an M42 SLR screw mount, based on the famous Biotar 58mm.

Collectable lens.

The lens is in mint working condition with minimal signs of use on the body (see photos for details). The optics are clear, without haze, fungus etc. A minimal amount of usual for old lenses dust inside that can not affect image quality. The focusing is working well. The body looks great. The aperture blades have a couple of tine spots of oil.

Comes with a cap.

I tested this Helios-44 lens with a Praktica SLR camera and it worked as should.
The lens fits modern cameras using a special adapter.

49mm filter
8 aperture blades
Aperture range 2-16
