I see where you read that. From my understanding that claim is made by the people trying to market the Somnium. I haven't run across any actual users who have been unhappy with their new Helios 40-2. I would expect if the defect level was that high there'd be a bunch of posts about it. |
I wrote here what the New Meyer Görlitz guy told me about their tests. Where is the thread with the 80% chance of defect?
I don´t think New Meyer Görlitz people have much knowledge about old lenses, so I don´t think they are a member here
One of them wrote about the new lenses before Photokina, I think they first tried not to tell people what lenses they optimize.
I saw one of the frist images made with, and wrote looks like Helios 40... _________________ Camera modification, repair and DIY - some links to look through: http://www.4photos.de/camera-diy/index-en.html

I just googled it and...You wrote it on September 22 2014 http://forum.mflenses.com/viewtopic.php?t=67745&start=45
"I have no idea how bad the quality deviation of the new producted Helios 40-2 is. They claim it is very bad, I think 20% good, 80% bad - this would be a very good reason for a optimized version.
But the lens name and "Made in Germany" feels wrong for me. "
Same thread basically I guess so not a separate confirming thread. |

Ah, yes. So this are only the New Meyer Görlitz statments, nothing from our users of the new Helios 40 production.
Do several MFlenses users have the new producted Helios 40? _________________ Camera modification, repair and DIY - some links to look through: http://www.4photos.de/camera-diy/index-en.html

80% defected - that's just BS, pardon my French.
I have a 1972 (black) version in mint condition which I bought on ebay.
The black version got a slightly improved resolution, and it will definitely fit your camera trough an M42-> whatever adapter, without any focusing problems.
So get yourself a good Helios.
Caxa2002 on ebay is not cheap, but it's quite a reliable and serious seller, with a very impressive stock of lenses! _________________ Tair 11 133 f/2.8 1958
