Helios-44


One of the first M42 Helios-44 lenses. Later iterations were accorded the suffix -2, -3, -4. On this early example you can focus with the lens wide open and then close it down to your chosen aperture using that knurled ring at the front.
The Helios-44 lens has a focal length of 58mm and a maximum aperture of f/2. This lens is a Soviet copy of the Carl Zeiss Biotar lens and has distinctive bokeh characteristics. So Helios = Zeiss. Maybe.
Photographed with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D lens on a Nikon D700
