![]() MC Helios-44-3 2/58 has one very characteristic and unpleasant feature. MS Helios 44-3 2/58 Difficulty using with adapters MS versions are rare, and usually these are Helios-44 lenses М-X, not Helios-44-X series. MS Helios-44-3 is interesting in that it has multi-illuminated optics, as indicated by the letters MS in the name of the lens ( Мultipro Сbranching). Lenses with an 'M' in their name, such as HELIOS-44M 2/58, have a jumping (blinking) diaphragm mechanism and do not have a manual diaphragm control mode (the diaphragm is always open until the diaphragm pin on the bayonet side is pressed). Such lenses are more convenient to use on modern digital cameras (there is no need to block the mechanism of the aperture jumping device for manual control). The difference between the lenses of the Helios-44-X series and the Helios-44 series М-X is that versions without letter ' М'in the name of the lens do not have a jumping (' Мaperture), therefore, the diaphragm on such a lens works only in manual mode. Helios 44-3 2/58 MS has an unusual for the Helios-44 series lenses red-yellow marking of the aperture and focusing distance. The diaphragm consists of 8 blades that form a hole in the form of regular octahedrons. The smooth movement of the aperture ring is useful when shooting video. Unlike the preset ring, the aperture setting ring rotates smoothly and can be used to set any intermediate value. It allows you to select one of the fixed values: F / 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16. MS Helios 44-3 2/58 has a ring presets diaphragm. Focusing occurs by moving the entire lens block. During focusing, the front retractable body does not rotate. The focus ring is metal, not rubberized, rotates approximately 270 degrees, the stroke of the ring is smooth. ![]() the focus ring is too close to the mount, it is not always convenient to work, especially when used on some modern cameras, for example, equipped with a battery grip.Some Western users may complain about this. For Soviet lenses, a characteristic feature is the presence of a focus distance scale only in meters (metric system).at F / 4-F / 16 values, the aperture blades form an insufficiently round hole.This trouble will be described in detail below and it relates more to adapters / adapters than to lens flaws focus ring design poorly compatible with adapters.Although, for that time, I do not know any similar lens with a bayonet type hood the lens hood is screwed into the thread of the front light filter, and is not installed in the bayonet grooves, as in modern lenses. ![]() micro-play of the aperture setting ring, but this does not affect the performance or usability of the lens.aperture blades are not blackened, which adversely affects image contrast on covered apertures.the chamfers of the lenses are not blacked out, which adversely affects the contrast of the image.MC Helios 44-3 2/58 is well built, but from the obvious shortcomings I can note the following: ![]() USSR, made at the Vologda Optical and Mechanical Plant Screwed into the front filter, marking of the original hood not found. The aperture can be adjusted smoothly, without clicks. aperture values F / 2, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16įrom F / 2 to F / 16.0, it is regulated by a diaphragm ring, there is a diaphragm preset ring.depth of field scale for values F / 2, 4, 5.6 (dash only), 8, 11 (dash only), 16.Petals form an octagon of approximately regular shape.
