p.1 #1USSR made lens image thread(Helios, Jupiter...)
Let's see some love for the Russian made glass.
EDIT: it took forever to get a pic uploaded.
Helios 44-2 58/2
On a side note, does anyone know if different generation Helios 44-2 58/2 share the same elements?
The helicoid is seized in my zebra ed.(if the focus ring is stiff, working it back and fourth is not the best answer)

Any info on the Zenitar? I traded my Tokina 10-17 with the thought that I could probably pick up a Zenitar 16 f/2.8 if I really wanted another fisheye.

I only have Japanese glass...
I have heard that the 44-2 is very cheap though. Does anyone know a price?

Bought mine for $12US plus $12 shipping from Kiev.

p.1 #7USSR made lens image thread(Helios, Jupiter...)
Dirt cheap, lot's on for less than $50 shipped to your door.
Build quality is ok but not great, the optical design(Biotar) was supposedly copied from when Germany was occupied and brought home to the motherland.
but if you want small and cheap...

A test shot using the Arsat 35mm f2.8 T/S. I was experimenting with the tilt movement and the interesting focal effects it can give.

Here's another look at the Arsat 35mm F2.8 T/S, first shot 'straight-up':
Slight rise + a few degrees of swing, 1 minute exposure:

This shot was taken with a Helios-44-2. I really like the look it can give!

Helios 44-2 info:
Lens Construction = 6 elements in 4 groups (w/ 1 gaussian doublet)
Focal Length = 58mm
Filter D = 49mm [although younger copies are 52mm]
Max F/stop = 2.0
Min F/stop = 16.0
Angle of view = 40°
Minimum focus = 0.5m (~18cm)
Diaphragm = Manual/Preset
Field of View = ~93mm [on 35mm]*
Variance between the different versions is largely in the coatings and body construction, but not the glass, per se.

I just got some bundles of happiness in the mail from the recent Ebay'ing I have been doing. So evil, sigh....
Anyways, recieved a Mir38b 65mm F3.5 in Pentacon Six mount, a Hartblei tilt adapter, and a Helios 44M-6. So far from the limited 2 days I have played with these, I think I just breathed new life into my photography hobby!
