This is my first time at selling items on this website, so if i do something incorrect please tell me.

For sale

Helios 44M-4 58mm f2

Serial Number: 833708

This lens has a few defects:

The focus ring is a little stiff but it is still easily useable. The filter ring has a dent which would probably be easy to get out with some pliers but I havent bothered trying. Also the filter ring seems to be missing a screw. Therefore there is some play in the lens. However neither of these affect image quality and the aperture ring is nice and snappy. The lens could probably do with a clean but would be perfect for someone who wants to get into using M42 lenses and is more bothered about the images than than the perfect cosmetics.

Helios 44M-2 58mm f2

Serial Number: 7591551

This lens has some paint flaking to the outside of the lens and the aperture ring is no longer snappy however it still fully functioning. Suprisingly the focus ring is smooth as butter and beautiful to use. There is some oil on the aperture blades but again as before this would be perfect for someone who wants a lens for its images not its looks.

Industar 50-2 50mm F3.5

Serial Number: 7251917

This lens has quite a groggy focussing ring but the rest of the lens is in a fair condition. With a bit of a clean this would be capable of producing nice images.

As stated above none of these lenses are optically or cosmetically perfect, however I have tried my best to decribe these as closely as I can. They are all nice lenses that often recommended to M42 first timers. The reason for sale is that I want to expand my nikon glass range and I am after a lens in the 17-24mm range, 90-140mm range and also a macro lens in Nikon F mount. I will take any reasonable offer for these lenses or I would consider trading them towards a Nikon Lens. I can post these to anywhere world wide, I will send them recorded post, well packaged at cost price. Payment via paypal preferable (+3%).

Edit: Also I have an optical adapter, which has been used twice, so that these lenses can be used on nikon bodies if anybody is interested.

looks like ill be holding on to these if nobody wants them, the money they will fetch doesnt justify selling them on ebay, hence I listed them here as honestly as possible

I'd be interested in both Helios but shipping costs would probably well exceed the price of the lenses. I've tried buying from Europe but $15 for lens and $40 for shipping sucks. Good luck with sale.
