Disassembled and cleaned Zebra Helios-44-2 58mm f2

Hello,

This is the Helios-44, famous for its swirly bokeh. This is a rare early zebra-striped model.

In recent years, the demand for old lenses has been increasing, and this item is one of the particularly rare ones.

The lens can be used with any M42 adapter. Please note that this is not a Leica L mount (L39).

When attaching the lens to an M42 mount using a conversion ring, the position of the lens's markings may be slightly off. This does not affect the image quality at all, but we have included this information for those who are particular about such details.

Front and rear caps are also included.

The exterior is in very good condition, maintaining a condition close to new. It is quite difficult to find one in this condition in Japan or even in Russia.

This lens has been disassembled and cleaned, and dust has been removed as much as possible. Due to its construction, it is prone to attracting fine dust, but this does not affect the image quality. The focus ring and aperture ring have also been greased, and both now operate smoothly and normally.

Both the aperture ring and the focus ring function properly.

Overall, this lens is in very good condition.

As a supplement, for those who do not have an adapter, we recommend the K&F Concept adapter. Inexpensive adapters under 1000 yen may have low precision, so it is best to choose a product with good quality. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will do our best to assist you.
