Hey people, I'm new here, and I need your help, I made a stupid mistake, I took my Helios 44m-5 apart, and when I got all the peaces back I realised I can't foccus to infinity.
I can focus normally to 3 or 4 meters, but after that, it's blurry. Please help.
Btw. I'm using it on Oly E-520 with adapter from ebay, until my stupidity lens worked fine with focusing, but it needed a cleaning.

Thx m8 for wishing me welcome. Sorry for being a little bit pushy about this.
I just managed to get it back to have infinity focus, so this problem is soloed, I played with tubes, till I finally found perfect spot.
Now I only have problem with a ball for aperture, I lost it, if anyone knows how to replace it with something else or if there are some to buy on ebay, I would be appriciated. |

I have a few bits which I rescued from a badly damaged 44M-4. If you would like the ball bearing send me a pm. _________________ John |

Hi Angelus,
Can you please explain how you did it? How do you "play with tubes"?
I have a Helios 44m-6 lens and would like to get infinity focus too.
Thanks. |

Thank you Lloydy. It sure is interesting.
It seems that Helios 44 is different from Helios 44m-6.
Am I right or wrong? |

Yup, looks like they are different.
It'd be great to have a similar type of instructions but for Helios 44m-6. |
