I have for sale a uncommon to find variation of the early Helios model 44 lens. This variation was one of the very last model 44 lenses made before the whole production switched to the helios-44-2 lenses.
Specifications: As you all know it`s and f2/58 mm Boigon copy lens. It still has the M39 mount and 8 aperture blades. The body is made out of painted nickle. Serial number is " No8001907" which means that the lens was made in 1968 in the MMZ factory.
Condition: The lens has seen better days. Outer body looks in rather poor`ish condition. The paint has peeled of all around the body, however no serious damage such as dents, deep scratches and etc. Glasses on the other hand are really good. Yes, there are visible cleaning marks on both frond and rear elements, but they do not pose any threat to picture quality. In fact most of them are hard to see. As for the technical quality. I have fully went through the inner bits and pieces of the lens. Cleaned out the dust, re`lubed the focus and aperture rings so now they move very smoothly. Aperture blades seem to have a few spots of oil inside, but nothing serious.
Price: Taking in mind the condition of the lens I`m asking 30 USD + shipping and paypal taxes. Shipping is 13 USD inside the EU and 18 to the rest of the world. Shipping is via registered, priority mail.
At the moment I will not be adding the lens on to ebay, however if no one grabs it here quickly - I will .

The most common ones are the Helios 44-2 and later, but this is an original Helios-44 (without the -2 beind),
Older and somewhat better lens for sharpness and colouring. _________________ Jesito, Moderator

Addition to that, most of the Helios-44 had silver finish and only the ones made in the last few years of productions wore black/zebra versions. _________________ I have many great Russian cameras and lenses for sale on my ebay account, please check it out: http://www.ebay.com/sch/piksius/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686
