Description:

The Helios 44-2 58mm f2 is a legendary vintage lens best known for its unique swirly bokeh and characterful rendering. Based on the classic Zeiss Biotar design, it delivers sharp central resolution with dreamy, artistic backgrounds, making it perfect for portraits and creative photography. The 58mm focal length gives a slightly tighter perspective than a standard 50mm, ideal for flattering portraits and subject isolation. With its all-metal build, manual aperture control (with preset ring), and smooth focusing, it’s a lens that invites hands-on shooting. Beloved by film and digital photographers alike, the Helios 44-2 is a gateway into vintage lens character and one of the most recognisable classics from the USSR.
