Familiarity with the Soviet Helios brand lenses I recommend starting with an inexpensive and common lens Helios-44-2 2/58 (aka HELIOS-44-2 2/58). The following links can look at modern lenses Zenitar и HELIOS.
and still shat, backlash between the rings I do not know what to call, is it treated like that?
Light play does not affect image quality; it is not always advisable to treat this.
and why 8 petals if they write that 6?
There were a lot of lens modifications, there are 8 and 6. Old Helios-44 even with 13.
Because it is written petals!
Thanks for the answer, but what about the first question, or does the adapter need to be changed?
Replacing the adapter will not help, it’s easier to turn in the lens so that it can be re-sharpened.
Thank you
I don’t know what topic to write, but I want to warn people.
I put up a lens for sale in the market, on the same day I called some gundos (I spoke like that) and said that from Odessa, I want to buy a lens, send money to the card, and I have to send him the lens by new mail in the morning, I was worried that he it will send now and the lens in the morning when the mail opens, (usually vice versa) and so it cloaked the evening and today the whole day, after a while SMS came with what about the code, and then the call - I’m the representative of the private bank, they transfer money to you, since the enumerator is legal .person then you need to inform the code in SMS and F Oh, and the card number. I’m saying that I won’t say which codes, I’ll wait online to ask the private person what the code is, but if it’s shorter, they all said it to the private person, and it’s advisable to change the card to a new one. So watch carefully with listings.
Yes. So now they are bred from Privatbank.
so it’s interesting that the voice of the seller and the pseudo representative is the same. after finding out with the private phone with which I was talking is blocked and the buyer’s phone is constantly reset by someone.
And another question, why is there a detailed description of all Nikon carcasses, and the D70 is very small? Nor is it bad. And you do not have a description at all
No one provided a camera for review.
Help it !!!!! I need a circuit !!!!!!!!!
Will this lens auto-focus on Nikon D90 ??
Will not be. Will this https://radojuva.com.ua/2010/12/obzor-otzuv-nikkor-50mm-nikon/
The diaphragm on the Helios 44m-4 does not close, the ring rotates and the diaphragm is always open. Camera Nikon d90. what to do?? used to spin.
The diaphragm on the Helius 44m-4 lens does not close. The ring is spinning and the diaphragm is open all the time. Nikon D90 camera. What to do?? recently everything worked
Was it on a film camera before?
After the first installation there was the same problem - the diaphragm does not close. The fact is that the pins (studs) of pressure remain unpressed. He cured easily, unscrewed 4 screws and put it on the spine from the inside
a piece of tubule from lollipop, i.e. simulated a click.
Hello Arkady! Thank you for the detailed and useful reviews. I want to purchase MS HELIOS-44m-4. The question is in the manufacturer. Which is preferable, the Jupiter Valdai plant or the Krasnogorsk mechanical plant?
I trust Krasnogorsk more
Thank you! I also leaned in favor of KMZ. Now certainly there is no doubt!
Tell me please! I bought D3100. The lens was already at home on the old camera - zenith. I bought an adapter for Nikona M42 thread. The lens has fitted normally. But I cannot in any way sand the lever (so that the diaphragm would work, and not be opened at 2.0). I tried it with electrical tape and tried it with foil. A very small gap, and any unnecessary object will not allow the lens to be twisted into the thread (the lens is well attached to the adapter ring - now I screw the lens with the adapter as a whole). I don't really want to spin the lens, for fear of breaking it. Is Lushnikov's dandelion suitable here, or is it not at all for that? Thanks in advance. Great site!

Vladimir, thanks for the reference !!!! directly saved me !!! did everything as said in the video, only G 44-4. everything is working!!!
Although, I read the advice above, and decided to unscrew the 4 screws :) Now I twist the lens at work :)
I tried to take photos, that's what came out on helios. With infinity, I’m still troubling, but I’ll try to read more about improving shooting

Good evening. You have visited the review very mildly not the best copy. this lens. You and I can say that the girl and I inherited exactly the same, and the quality was simply shocking, it is unrealistically sharp and all this luminous soaping is not at all. Neither in the background nor around the subject. In contrast and saturation, it will give odds to many Elks from Boot. I shot on 5d mark II
I have a M52 * 0.75 MC HELIOS 44M-4 58mm 1: 2 lens, but the connection to the camera is not threaded. Went with a photo of Zenith 2AM (automatic). Also on the seat there is a petal that opens the diaphragm. The bottom line is that I can not pick up the adapter ring. Advise.
Is there a big difference in picture quality between 44m-4 and 44m-7 for example
Or depends on the instance?
According to the passport, there is a difference, but everything really depends on the instance.
The diaphragm pressure device can be blocked, you write, - I followed the link, but did not find a description. If not burdensome, repeat the description. Thank you in advance
Today I was presented with a completely not sharp Helios44m-4
Horrible bokeh, strong software and soap in the center on any fr.
Externally, the lens is ideal without any visible signs of operation) I will disassemble.
Disassembled. It turns out that if you slightly unscrew the rear lens unit. the lens becomes fully operational. As sharp as necessary)
Everything is clear, everything secret becomes clear. I had Zenit with the same lens, I bought it in 85, Helios 44 with the letter M. The camera looked solid after the FED. To go out with such a camera to a celebration, a wedding is one pleasant thing (even without a film it was possible), already one sight of which was worth it. I also had a FED with a Lekov lens, I stayed with my grandfather, jammed jammed, where he just wasn’t, but I didn’t see any sharper pictures! And then it was like that, Zenit was carefully lying on the table, feeling sorry for him, and the FED himself asked to take on the road, he only worked with him. Slides made the sea on ORWO films.
And with Gelius 44M everything is clear ... here, from an article on monoculars, I came up with the idea to disassemble it, I will leave it with one lens for Nikon, it is only suitable for experiments. He is not sharp!
