My first Scarlet test with Helios 44-2
Would love to hear your thoughts! Many thanks

I have the Hellios 77K-4 f1.8 50mm lens, which I think is just a newer and slightly wider version of what you have. I absolutely love this lens and use it all the time. Works great as a interview lens.

The high frame rate and vintage glass produces a look i haven't seen before. Nostalgic and modern at the same time . Cool

I just bought a set of Helios lenses (28 mm, 35 mm, 58 mm, 135 mm) and shot with them over the last few days. Here's a teaser trailer I just cut together to introduce our new model Tillie, which was shot on Scarlet with these lenses.

I'm really enjoying shooting with the Helios lenses. They have a lovely flare and soft but still detailed character especially shooting into the light. And it is a pleasure to use all-manual lenses with decent focus throw instead of the Canon EOS glass we've been using up to now!

Cheers, Hywel.

Helios lenses can be very, very interesting It's good the give the West a rest, and see sometimes what the "other guys" were doing on the other side of the curtain. The hegemony of Canon, Nikon, etc can get pretty boring...

helios are russian lens or....?

 

[Vladislav Grausbard]

Yes, exUSSR, LOMO. Helios is standard lens for Zenit-E photo camera

 

[Nick Morrison]

Helios lenses are generally Russian copies or updates of Zeiss Jena lenses and designs. Though the lenses are quite modern (often made in the 80's and 90's), the designs can be quite old. The Helios 44 design dates back to before WW2. Hence all the insane (and magical) bokeh. They didn't know how to fix that kind of distortion back then.

Vlad, what's the Helios 28mm?

 

[Vladislav Grausbard]

Honestly I do not know Helios 28mm. :confused1: Helios 44/2 - 58mm. Should ask Hywel Phillips .

Cool .... thank you Vladislav for the R3d files ... I'm going to buy one, and try it on my Scarlet

Mine is an f/2.8 28 mm focal length Helios lens in M42 fit. Serial number is 821532-4 if that helps. Bought on eBay:

Raad, do not forget that for Helios you will need buy M42 lens adapter too. For example
