This is a new, unused, dead stock item. It has been disassembled and serviced, so it can be used without any problems. This is the swirling bokeh lens that's been a hot topic on Instagram and other platforms. It is a successor to the Helios 44-2. The lens configuration is the same as the Helios 44-2, so it produces the same swirling bokeh effect. Includes a metal hood and caps. All are new. Manufactured in 1990. I obtained this from a Russian vendor who was closing their shop, so it is unused. As a bonus, I'm including an adapter. Please choose your adapter from the following: Sony E-mount, Micro Four Thirds, Fuji X, Canon EF, Nikon F (for short to medium distances) Included accessories: Lens front and rear caps Adapter I occasionally acquire dead stock items, but many of them have scratches around the lens. However, this lens has no scratches on the exterior and is in the same condition as it would have been when new in a store back then. I don't think you'll find one in this clean condition very often. Highly recommended. It has been serviced, so there are no operational issues. Since it is unused, there are no scratches, mold, clouding, or balsam separation. This is a perfectly functioning, unused lens. The lens surface is very clean. In test shots, it produced clear images without any problems. Highly recommended. No operational issues. No operational issues. It boasts a sharpness in the center that rivals the original Biotar, and most famously, the swirling bokeh effect at wide apertures. It's a legendary lens that allows you to enjoy the characteristic look of old lenses, including vignetting. It's an f/2.0 58mm lens. I took test shots with this lens, and they produced beautiful, three-dimensional images. I've included sample images taken with the same lens for your reference.
