Helios-44-2 58mm f/2 - Good Condition | Iconic Vintage Glass with Legendary Swirly Bokeh
The Helios-44-2 58mm f/2 (S/N: 7366029) is one of the most famous vintage lenses in the world, beloved by photographers and cinematographers for its unique optical "imperfections." Based on the legendary Zeiss Biotar design, this Soviet-era lens is world-renowned for its "swirly bokeh"—a distinct circular blurring of the background that makes subjects stand out with a dreamlike, cinematic quality. With a fast f/2 maximum aperture and a classic 58mm focal length, it is an exceptional tool for portraiture, offering a natural perspective and a warm, vintage color palette. Built with a robust, all-metal barrel and a manual preset aperture ring, the Helios-44-2 provides a tactile and deliberate shooting experience that modern digital lenses cannot replicate.

Specialist Note "The Helios-44-2 (S/N: 7366029) is more than just a lens; it’s a creative filter in the form of glass. While modern lenses strive for clinical perfection, the Helios is prized for its soul. When shot wide open at f/2 against a busy background—like light filtering through trees—the swirly effect is truly magical. This specific unit features the classic M42 mount, making it arguably the most versatile vintage lens you can own. Whether you're a filmmaker looking for a 'vintage look' without expensive post-processing or a portrait photographer wanting to add character to your shots, the Helios-44-2 is an essential addition to your kit."
Condition Report Good condition. The lens barrel (S/N: 7366029) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear on the metal finish consistent with its age. The optics are clear, free from fungus or significant haze. As is common with these vintage Soviet lenses, some minor internal dust may be present but does not affect image quality. The manual focus ring is smooth, and the preset aperture mechanism is fully functional and free from oil.
