KMZ released a new Helios 40-2. Looks like it's only a new body, but it's way lighter than older one.

I think they were doing them last year too, there are a reasonable number of 2014 produced 40-2 lenses on ebay. From what I can tell, Zenit have a number of lenses in production, I had a brand new 16mm fisheye (Zenitar M2) as I didn't want to spend loads on a fisheye that I might not use all that much.

interesting. i wonder what materials they have substituted. i don't know anyone who has personally used the re-edition. has it been properly compared to the originals by anyone here? pierre, do you know the production run of the new helios edition? i have to admit that i'm surprised there still isn't 'proper' distribution for the zenit re-editions in the u.s. outside of a couple of ebay sellers. I'm not sure if it's different elsewhere in europe and asia.

cheers!
