This is a vintage lens manufactured in the former Soviet Union (USSR). HELIOS-44m f2/58mm is one of the most common lenses of the Helios-44 series. Helios 44m is an interesting lens with an amazing picture and a fixed focal length of 58mm. Focusing of the lens is smooth. The focusing ring rotates 220 degrees. The front and rear lenses do not rotate when focusing. The aperture has 8 blades. The aperture control ring rotates smoothly, stopping at fixed values. HELIOS-44M 2/58 has an aperture mode switch M/A, with its help you can choose manual or automatic (semi-automatic) aperture control. The lens has a very specific bokeh.

The optical element of this lens creates a stunning twisted bokeh.
