In fact so much fun, I am taking one out for a spin in the near future and hopefully post more swirly bokeh photos in this blog. These lenses are fun, relatively cheap and have a cult following. This was the primary reason I did the test. Hence the only usable ones to me for photography are the 44M and newer 44M-4 (SN88158346). The 44-2 and older 44M-4 (SN87405245) do not focus to infinity. Perhaps this difference is from the coating of the lens – single coated vs multi-coated lens. The verdict? Seems like all have a similar bokeh effect and more or less the same center sharpness (handheld). ![]() Helios-44-2 (8 blades, stepless aperture) La lente que se presenta en esta breve reseña fue fabricada en una fábrica opto-mecánica. Las principales características de rendimiento son las mismas que las del resto de los últimos 44 helios. These were attached to a Kipon M42-FX BAV-Eyes 0.7X adapter and mounted on a Fuji X-T1 to have full lens coverage with no crop (and hence full extent of the swirly bokeh) on the APS-C sized Fuji sensor. Helios-44m-6 es una de las mejores lentes de la serie Helios-44m-X. They are, in order of manufacture year, the Helios-44-2, Helios-44M, Helios-44M-4 (2 lenses). Recently I conducted a quick and dirty comparison of four Helios-44 lenses for their swirly bokeh and center sharpness. Helios 44M 58mm F2 Russian Lens for Sony E NEX (for E-mount cameras) High Quality, Portrait, Standard. ![]() Helios 44M 58mm F2 Russian Lens for Sony E NEX. Camerapedia has a good description of the many variants. Here are the five best Helios lenses that you can get from the market: 1. The Helios-44 lens comes in many variants and were made by several different former Soviet eastern bloc manufacturers. The sharpness falls off steeply toward the edges at this aperture. The subject matter is best placed in the center of the frame as that is where the lens is sharpest at full aperture. Lastly, you need to open up the lens to its largest aperture – f2. With modern lenses perfectly designed through the aid of computers, you only get perfectly round light bokeh. The most common examples are 28mm f2.8 and 135mm f2.8 auto-stopdown M42 lens, probably manufactured by Chinon. SPONSORED MINT w/ Hood Canon New FD NFD 24mm f/2 MF Wide Angle Prime Lens From JAPAN. It is a unique imperfection of the Helios lens design.

For example, light coming through leaves or light coming from the many buildings in a city background at night or light coming from a lighted Christmas tree. So the background should have many points of light. The swirling effect of the bokeh seem to come from imperfect formation of light circles from the center of the frame (where they are round) to the edges of the frame (where they are elliptical). The right conditions usually mean the right camera to subject distance, in this case from about 2 to 4 metres for the camera to subject distance. It suits portraiture best when the right conditions are met for the bokeh to swirl around the subject. I must admit I love the swirly bokeh of the Helios 58mm f2 lens.
