Re: Helios 58mm, surprising!

Hi there, older Helioses are single-coated. The quality of those is a lottery, sometimes you can get very good one, but mos of them are average. Or even worse. As I do collect russian cameras, I have tens of Helios-44 (and versions) lenses. I have found one that's AMAZINGLY sharp and contrasty.

Hey, Don, is that a K-mount or M-42 lens? I'm looking for some cheap optics in order to fool around with some odds and ends projects. In any case, where'd you get the glass? Shel [Original Message] From: Don Sanderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.donsauction.com/PDML/IMGP2572small.jpg
