p.10 #1USSR made lens image thread(Helios, Jupiter...)
TY guys 115USD even these are going up 
glass is really good, blades dry, but focus mount has the usual heavy grease and is gonna need attention.
Now this is not the same grease which is in the helios 40---that causes slow sex change.

Helios 44-2. My daughter at the farm...
Paid $18 earlier for a 1950 Industar 26 with a Red "P". Shipping cost almost the same as the lens itself.

I'm surprised they even allow people to ship/transport these dangerous lenses across borders
I'm just glad that there are treatment options for the hair loss, plugs look natural, right?

Nice portrait.
I hope you post some shots from the 26, it will probably be my next RF lens buy.

Thank you LightShow. Will post some test shots from the 26 once it arrives. The last time I ordered a glass from Russia it took 4 weeks to arrived.

A 13 blade Helios 44 and a Helios 40 are now both on their way to me.
I was planning to hold out for a matched set of 'Red P' versions, but they are so rare that I went for clean versions.
I can't wait to get my hands on them.

The 40 arrived, the front element was loose, no big deal, another element was loose in the back end, and they were dirty, so I went to clean and tighten things up and found that the rear element was installed backwards and the 2 elements had rubbed together in shipping leaving marks on the 2 elements.
I've contacted the seller and am now waiting for a response.
The lens was serviced before sale, seller is now waiting to hear back from the tech.
