Description: Iron Glass Adaptors in Ukraine is the best-known company creating cine-modded lenses from vintage Russian glass. This Helios 44-2 58mm f2 from Iron Glass is modded for Canon EF mount with a rotatable lens mount adjustable with a small allen wrench so the lens sits perfectly on camera. It features the amber internal coloring option for a warm vintage look and the oval bokeh + anamorphic flare option for a cinematic filming experience. Glass and aperature are in excellent condition, with only the lightest cleaning marks as to be expected in a modded vintage lens. Features fully declicked aperture, metal focus and aperture gears for follow focus (versus the plastic gears on most mods), and 77mm front lens hood. Full focus range including infinity. Great lens, selling this because I switched to a camera with a different mount. Visit the iron glass adaptors site under cine modded lenses to learn more about this lens. The retail price for this lens with the amber internals and oval bokeh + flare option and EF mount is $370 dollars, plus wait time and shipping cost from Ukraine. If you’re looking for a cine lens for your Canon EF camera, this is the one! Check my other auction for an Iron Glass Jupiter 37 135mm modded lens, also for Canon. Here's what their website has to say about this lens: 58/2 HELIOS 44-2 Best vintage lens: small, cheap, far from perfect, but incredible in so many ways. There are many versions of this lens with the 44-2 model being the most common. All versions though were based on the amazing Zeiss’s Biotar 58mm, which explains why Helios 58mm is so well regarded. It’s always the first lens I recommend to anyone wishing to try out vintage lenses. It pretty much has it all including the beautiful dreamy flares, very unique swirly bokeh and a great sharpness. Minimum focusing distance is 0.50m, so gets you pretty nice close-ups with this lens, making it very popular for mid/close portrait shots. Min Focusing Distance: 0.5m Angle of View (FF): 40° Focus Throw: Approx. 270° Aperture Blades: 8 Aperture Range: F2.8 – F16 Weight (with mods): 319g Full Frame Soviet Vintage LensHas excellent technical characteristicsMade out of glass and metal only, build like a tankHas rich history, based on Carl Zeiss optical formulasUnique opportunity to meet the legend
