    EXCELLENT VINTAGE LENS!

    I recently purchased a Fuji X-T2 around 6 months ago and stumbled across the world that is vintage lenses adapted for use on modern mirrorless cameras. I was intrigued, so when a YouTuber enthused about various M42 mount lenses and particularly encouraged people to buy the Helios 44M if they were to come across it, I took the opportunity. This particular lens was in beautiful condition and produces outstanding portrait shots with that swirly bokeh this lens is known for. The fact it's a manual focus lens is a bonus for me, I cut my teeth back in the days of film and shooting with this lens feels like getting back to 'real' photography. I will echo the advice I followed, if you see one of these lenses in good condition just buy it already!

  • Excellent character and beautiful lens.

    I finally got one after exercising extreme patience and waiting for one at a sensible price. Not disappointed! Great little lens with bags of character. Ignore the uninitiated who say it's a "soft lens". All lenses are sharp - you just have to understand their characteristics to get the he best from them. If you buy one and see oil on the aperture blades, leave it alone! It's supposed to be there. All 44s and 44-2s left the factory like that. They are totally manual lenses that need lubricated blades. This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite lenses - it's up there with my Industar 50-2. Highly recommend this if you're a fan of classic lenses.

  • A little stunner!

    Really pleased with this little stunner, good value for money. Alright its full manual, but that makes you work and makes you become better at photography.The images are clear the bokeh is lovely and swirly with a good quality. For a cheap prime lens, give it a go, you will be surprised what you get from your camera.

  • Good lens for a price

    Nice for photographers bit you need to be patient with manual focus and dynic shoots are hard ro catch. If you are planning to use it for video i would choose it for artistic shoots more than dynamic or music videos.

  • Excellent Value - Great Fun Lens

    I bought the lens to use with a CanonR5. I bought a cheap adapter that works extremely well with the lens. I get some indicators that illuminate on-screen and show when in focus. You can actually see the Bokeh effects appearing in the display. I Have taken some real interesting photos with the lens and am looking to learning how to use the bokeh effect to it's full potential. Fot te price, it is excellent value.
