Looks like they still make ( or sell old stock) helioes - the price tag is around 200 EUR.

Ага, в отделе маркетинга КМЗ, куда я сегодня позвонил, официально подтвердили инфу о выпуске Гелиос 40-2.
Дело обстоит следующим образом:
до конца года выпускается мелкая серия М42. Определяются с ценой.
В следующем году - будут выпускать с байонетами под никон и кенон.
So there will be a small batch on m42 made this year and Nikon and Canon versions next year.

Very inspiring news indeed! On the upcoming Photokina 2012 KMZ ltd is going to represent digital panoramic camera 'HORIZON DL-3', panorama cameras 'Horizon S3pro', new photolenses line MC 'Zenitar' (fisheye), cinema lenses line 'Optar', as well as lenses Tair, Zenitar-K, MC APO Telezenitar M, Helios 40, F90 and F114. There is no information still about the optic quality. But some sources are mentioning that new Helios-40-2-C will be produced under the same technical conditions (TU or ТУ in Russian) as the older ones. Well as per me, I believe that KMZ could easily fit auld lang optical quality. Also they definitely will get a much better quality assurance in the modern market environment than they had in USSR times. Well anyway let's wait for some news from Photokina which will begin on Tuesday, 18.

Yes, the price is correct, you can see it in the shop vitrine. Unfortunately you can't buy it at that price as the shop does not have Helioses in stock.

If this is correct, it shows how silly the prices for used one are.

They are silly indeed. As soon as a lens gets hype, common sense goes out of the window.
Incidentally, last time I bid on the Helios-40, my top bid was 157 Euros, which is remarkably inline with 200 Euros new price. http://forum.mflenses.com/helios-40-85-1-5-excellent-condition-100-2h-left-only-t51923.html

I'm waiting for them to be sold factory direct and skip the 3rd party's that are reselling nearly double the new cost making them a large profit.

As far as I know, the new price has been adjusted by the factory (which means that now you can't buy it new for $230 anymore even from the factory outlet). I also heard the factory is transitioning to MC versions of this lens (the first batches had similar coatings to the old H40-2, only the front lens had magenta colored reflections instead of all-yellow).
