Hallmark Card Worthy!! I did a search and there are many of that lens still available.


Yes there are several, all used. Be carful making sure it has, or you can get the proper adapter for your camera. Mine came from Russia before the war. If you buy one check to make sure where it is coming from. All of them were originally made many years ago.

Thank Frank. Simple set up as you can see in this picture. I need to re-glue my print, i've been a little abusive as I store it. 🥴


I sometimes paint plywood. I think you idea is cheaper and easier to store.

Love it! I would like a Helios myself. I’ve been shooting a couple of Carl Zeiss Jena vintage lenses and loving the results, but the Helios gives you that amazing swirl.

I bought a Helios 44/2 lens on ebay couple of yeas ago. Decided to bring it out again to shoot the Orchid plant. This lens is known for creating a soft blurry background effect.

My background was done some time ago. It's a downloaded background texture that I blew up fro make a print about 22 x34. Took the file up to Walmart for a cheep $10 print. Got it back and mounted to some gator board with rubber cement.

Set this backdrop behind the plant. Used window light for my lighting.

Did small amount of PS Camera Raw editing.

Good effect, great subject, good to see the result from that Helios. Nice lens.
