HELIOS-44-2 2/58 with ultrasonic motor and image stabilizer

This overview shows lens adaptation HELIOS-44-2 2/58 for Nikon cameras.

Optics took from the lens HELIOS-44-2 2/58 with serial number 7726944 manufactured by the Jupiter Optical and Mechanical Plant, Valdai. Body and autofocus taken from the lens Nikon 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX Nikkor SWM Aspherical... A quiet compact type ultrasonic motor, the stabilizer in the lens does not work, but the built-in stabilizer can work on Nikon Z5, Z6, Z7 cameras with the appropriate Nikon FTZ adapter. In the end, this is exactly what happens HELIOS-44-2 2/58 with ultrasonic motor and image stabilizer.

After rework Nikon 18-55 / 3.5-5.6G VR the zoom ring rotates but nothing moves mechanically. The VR stabilizer has been removed from the lens. The focus ring performs its function as usual. MDF is approximately 70 cm, focusing at infinity is maintained.

I already had an autofocus on the review MC HELIOS-44M-4 58mm 1: 2based on Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1: 1.8, MKII versionbut it lacked a built-in focus motor. With the new autofocus HELIOS-44-2 2/58 I can easily use the lens on a super cool camera Nikon D40 and please yourself with nice pictures. Seriously though, it's great that there are masters who adapt old lenses for autofocus.

Examples on Nikon D850 (Full Frame)

On the full frame, an excessive vignette appears from the fact that the objective lenses are deep in the frame of an unnatural body. This vignette often adds flavor to the final photos. Link per RAW file with Nikon D850.

Examples on Nikon D40 (APS-C, DX)

The frame of the body creates a kind of built-in hood, but the lens is still very afraid of backlight.

  • Ilyas

    The title of the article suggests that the lens has a stabilizer, but it does not. It would be better to change it, otherwise some not good thoughts arise

    • Arkady Shapoval

      (stabilizer may be available on Nikon Z5, Z6, Z7 cameras with built-in image stabilizer directly into the camera)

  • xandrex

    In general, the article is hard clickbait. The lens has no stabilization. Matrix stabilization in the camera is not stabilization in the lens. The text is written in such a way as to deliberately mislead

    • B, R, P.

      Here at last! Someone has opened our eyes.
