This is an original vintage lens made in the former Soviet Union ( USSR ). Helios 44-2 f2/58mm MMZ logo is one of the best lenses among all versions of 'Helios-44-2' with manual aperture setting. Helios 44-2 (MMZ logo) made by Belarus Optical Mechanical Association (Minsk, Belarus).

Helios 44-2 is an interesting lens with an amazing picture and fixed focal length 58mm. The focusing of the lens is smooth. When focusing, the front and rear lenses do not rotate. The diaphragm has 8 blades. The iris control ring rotates smoothly, stopping at fixed values.

The lens has a very specific bokeh. Like other lenses in the HELIOS-44 family, the 44-2 version swirls the background (the legendary helios "swirling bokeh"). A lens like this can be a great find for a photographer. The optical element of this lens creates stunning swirling bokeh.
