Rare #83 [Square Bokeh] Unused Helios 44-2 M42

Unused, dead stock, manufactured in 1983.

This is a Helios 44-2 with a square aperture, also known as "square bokeh."
This rare lens is highly sought after by enthusiasts and is rarely found on the market.

Occasionally, modified lenses with square apertures are seen, but these are modified by fixing the aperture blades in a square shape, preventing aperture value changes.

This lens is a genuine square aperture lens, allowing aperture adjustments from fully open to F16.

This time, we have imported a new, unused, and fully serviced lens, so there are no operational issues.
The lens surfaces are also clean.

We do not have any future stock planned, so don't miss out!

This lens rivals the original Biotar in terms of its sharp center, and is most famous for its swirly bokeh at wide apertures. It is a legendary lens that allows you to enjoy the characteristics of old lenses, including vignetting. It is an f/2.0 58mm lens. I took test shots with this lens, and the images turned out beautifully with a three-dimensional feel. We will ship it free of charge via Sagawa Express.
