Helios 44M-4 58mm f/2 MC

The lens has a good build quality and was manufactured in the Soviet Union. It has a maximum aperture of f/2 which allows for good low light performance and a shallow depth of field. The lens has 6 lens elements and a multi-coating which helps to reduce lens flare and increase contrast. The lens produces a unique bokeh, which is the quality of the out of focus areas in an image, due to its optical design. This lens is a popular alternative to more expensive lenses and provides good image resolution. It is a manual focus lens, meaning the photographer must adjust the focus themselves.

Optical design

Has 6 aperture blades, this number of blades are commonly used. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture value
