Ultra Swirl Edition Helios 44-2 2/58mm №82373299 M42

Ultra Swirl Edition Helios 44-2 2/58mm №82373299 M42 The optical design of this Helios-44 was modified in my workshop to produce a stronger swirly bokeh. There are no aperture blades – there was simply no room left for them after the glass elements were repositioned. Fixed at f/2.0 only. The edges of the glass elements were additionally blackened, resulting in slightly stronger contrast. Restored using modern lubricants. The glass is washed with Zeiss products inside and out. Please note, this is not a Helios with a reversed front glass. It has a completely different optical design.
