Today I got a M39 Helios-44 for 3.5 euros.
Glass has only some cleaning marks, but unfortunately the barrel is
dirty, the front ring has a dent and the aperture ring does not rotate
freely enough. I tried to clean it up, but unfortunately it still needs
work.
13 blades!!!!!!
Two photos wide open one with Helios-44 and another one with Helios-44-2. I think the only difference is that the
M39 helios has a bit warmer colors.
This is from Helios-44
This is from Helios-44-2

The weird thing is that I thought all version of Helios have 6 or 8 blades,
not 13 like this one. Anyone has any info about this?
Maybe because it is a 0225711?
P.S.
This one has I think 8 blades

I had an email exchange with a Zeiss (I mean Zeiss Oberkochen) technician last year. He was very friendly and took a lot of time for the reply. A degree of customer support (heck, technically speaking, I'm not even their customer!), that should be showed to other companies... well, anyways he said to me that the different colouring of the coating does not mean, per se, a better or worse coating, it's just the different metals used, but there are several metals with similar optical properties that can be used without a significant difference. The technique of the coating, how coats are layered down, this is what can make the difference, he said. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Thanks Orio, one more time. But I ask miself about the differents reflexions in the coat, that differences imply, or not, distinc colors transmission.
I have two pancolars 50 mm. One with pale orange/yellow/green/blue/purpure reflexions, and the other with pale yellow/purpure. This differences will transmit to the film/sensor. The first is more neutral tones, the second with yellow/green dominant.
Of course that circumstance don't related with the worse of the coat, but it's with the better quality of the transmission of the light that the coat do.
