The only other 58mm f2 lens I am aware of is the Helios 44... any relation to the Biotar ? |
Yes, more than a relation: the original name was "BTK" - Biotar Krasnogorsk. It was made from material from Zeiss factories that was brought to the USSR after WWII as war reparations. The Helios 44 was derived from this production line.
