For the Helios 44-2, just reversing the front element will produce that effect. It's easy to access the glass from the front removing the retaining ring using a spanner. I don't have one, so I used two very small flat-head screwdrivers at the same time to unscrew it.
For other lenses I flipped around both of the front two elements and sometimes swapped positions at the same time depending on how the lens was constructed and how easily and securely it can be put back together.
The camera I shot the video with is a Canon 600D (t3i) |

Is the lens hand held/supported in front of the camera and not mounted on the body as such?
OH |
No it was mounted to the camera as it would be normally.
I also tampered with a Sears 55mm f/1.8 and a Cyclop-1M 85mm f/1.2 (w/Helios 44 rear elements)
I shot some quick video clips with all three lenses today showing what these effects look like in real time.

Some really nice Helios pics, folks. I have the 58mm f/2 Helios 44M. Its in M42 mount (aren't the all?). It's a finely made lens, but doesn't get as much attention as either my 50/1.4 Super Tak or my Yashinon-DX 50mm f/1.7 because it is noticeably less sharp than either. It is no mean slouch, however.
Here's a self portrait and a crop of same:

I have no doubt there was more to the sales listing but it was an impulse purchase and I've recently taken it off the shelf to have a go at learning it: I definitely need more time.
The standard version and I get along just fine....

This kind of result is often caused by reversing the front element. Perhaps this is what has occurred to your modified lens.
If you don't like it, you can always return it to normal.
The second lens produces beautiful results

Hi,
It has been quite some time since I last posted here or been active taking photos.
I have recently become a proud grandfather so I need to brush up on my basic skills.
Have enjoyed reading through loads of the threads on this excellent site.
