![]() Olympus and Panasonic micro 4/3 cameras user. I know there's a lot of sample variation, but is this version one of the know better ones (sharpness/contrast)? I've searched on the first post of this topic but I'm not sure what is the year (or decade) of manufacture. The mount is M39 and by the logo looks like it is a MMZ model and the serial number is 5039537.

One photographers junk lens is an artists favorite tool. I just found out my Super Tak 50/4 1:1 preset Macro has it's two aperture rings work exactly the same way as the 44-2(and late 44's), they just labeled both rings, much less confusing, I just used a silver Sharpie to mark the ring on my 44-2. Only when you use it from f16 to f2 as a step-less aperture does it get a bit confusing if you want to set a specific f stop, I use it this way often, like when I want to set the DOF to cover a subject, I'll just turn the ring till I see the whole subject is sharp, I couldn't care less what the actual f stop is, if you do want to know, hold the aperture ring in its position, and turn the preset ring till it stops, then you can read off of it what the f stop is. The preset part is accurate, you preset it to the f stop you want, say f8, then turn the aperture ring till it stops, ta-da! f8. To choose any other exact f stop on this model of Helios 44-2 is a guessing game.Īpart from the strange diaphragm ring, I'm very happy with this lens. The only f stops you can be sure are the f/2 or the f/16 because they are on the end of the scale. ![]() how can you be sure of what f stop do you select if the scale is inverted? If you select f16 you can use the red arrow ring to change continously the aperture of the lens from f2 to f16.īut. Select the diaphragm you want to use for the picture, turn the ring with the red arrow and the lens is diaphragmed to the selected f stop. ![]()
