Description: This is a Helios 44-2 "Zebra" 58mm f/2 lens, in excellent condition. It has the M42 screw mount and will attach to modern mirrorless cameras with an inexpensive adapter. Overall, it has a pleasing patina and a nice vintage look. The barrel of the lens is very clean with no scratches, dents, or damage from abuse. Distance scales are crisp and clear. Focus action is buttery smooth. The clickless aperture is also smooth and blades are free of oil. The glass is clean and the coatings are beautiful. The interior of the lens is clean, no haze, fungus, etc. There are some tiny dust particles in the lens, but nothing that affects the performance of the lens. I've found this lens to be very versatile. It is almost as sharp as modern lenses of this focal length. Used wide open, it is known for its characteristic swirly background blur. It's also a fun lens for portraits. Includes original front and rear caps. If you're looking to pick up one of these inexpensive lenses, this is one to consider! This vintage camera lens is sold as is, no returns. USA AUCTION ONLY, NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, NO PO BOXES, NO LOCAL PICKUP. You must provide a USA street address for delivery, or your order will be canceled.
