I have an EXC+++ Helios 44-2 58mm f/2 vintage Russian lens for sale.
$60 shipped CONUS.
A Zeiss Biotar clone in M42 mount. 8-blade aperture. This little lens is SHARP!!! A little oil on the blades (almost all vintage Russian lenses will have oil on blades; does NOT affect image whatsoever), very excellent condition especially for a vintage lens, double Ap rings just like the old Zeiss Biotars (one click ring, one de-clicked ring, the best for video). Nice lens. Perfect metal barrel cosmetics and clear glass. Black paint looks great, nice and black, and the white lettering is nice and white; pretty rare for a lens of this age; it must've been in storage in its' little case for a while. VERY smooth focus and Ap ring. Solid, firm, perfect Ap ring clicks. Basically a time-machine specimen in VG condition.
You can honestly get this lens cheap on ebay for $40-80...but the wait time from the Eastern Block is 2 weeks to a month and you don't really know what you're getting..many of them are bad condition, have brassing, or messed up Ap ring or focus ring. Not this one: great condition and also a fast 2-3 day Priority shipping. I am located in SoCal.
Price is $60 shipped CONUS. Fast USPS Priority 2-3 day (try that with an order from an Eastern Block EBayer, ha!)
Paypal preferred, as echeck/gift.
