You do realize the resolution measuring standards were quite different with Russian lenses? Smile


Um, no. I didn't.

I did also notice that the 44M-7 was rated 50/30, which is considerably better. I have one on rout to me and am eager to see that.

What am I missing here? That site lists the Helios 44-2 as 38/20 resolution. That doesn't sound so great to me. I have the lens and find it quite sharp. Additionally, the Jupiter 12 is 36/18. Real close to the Helios, but the numbers don't sound like they support people's opinions. I had expected 50-60 range numbers.

Well as I can see my Mir-24N is much sharper than Helios-44-2 @f/2.0. But resolution is not everything about the lens. I do not take sometimes Planar 50/1.4 but do take Helios-44-2 instead because of colors and bokeh.

aoleg is right,
this measurments of sharpness and resolution are different for old soviet lenses and the lenses produced in japan, germany e.t.c.
First thing is that those soviet test were made in the plants, conditions were the same for the hole soviet industry. Yet the other manufactures have other conditions of this experement, and the mordern lenses of canon, nikon et.c. have made conditions good for promoting their lenses.

So these number can rly be usefull, if you compare Soviet lenses with each other.
