Helios-44-3 \u2013 the ultimate Helios-44-2?
\nThis lens combines multicoating(feature of more recent Helioses) plus the ergonomics and functionality of the earlier(and extremely popular nowadays) HELIOS-44-2, which makes it a really cool FSU lens to have on any camera system!<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_tta_tabs active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”Helios-44 vs zoom lens” tab_id=”1484472047135-d227a1a6-847e”][vc_column_text]Helios-44 series of lenses comparing to\u00a0kit zoom lenses

\nHelios-44 is a vintage soviet line of fast fixed focal length(prime) lenses, in high demand nowadays for their fast aperture(f\/2), which opens up a world of possibilities for photographer \u2013 selective focusing, low light photography, great portraits with vintage feel and beautiful bokeh courtesy of Carl Zeiss Biotar formula in use; for their ability to be mounted on various camera systems via affordable and easily available adapters.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The 44-3 still has 8 blades of aperture from earlier design, which create natural looking bokeh(later versions of the lens although often sharper\/with more contrast, have less blades in aperture, thus rendering highlights in the background as less natural shapes). Helios-44-3 also has silent \u201cclickless\u201d aperture ring \u2013 great news for videographers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet H-44-3 is multicoated lens already, like the later H-44-5, 6 & 7.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Specs” tab_id=”1484811976366-6fcbebb0-3cdb”][vc_column_text]\"\"52mm filter thread
