hi,

I Had a previus topic where i wanted to know the maker of the helios 135mm 2.8.
http://forum.mflenses.com/helios-135mm-2-8-japanese-made-t40349.html

and i knew i had seen the style before.
I started to look trough my lenses en found a helios 28mm 2.8 that look familiar and has the same writing and symbols on it.

maybe anyone might recognize the 28mm style and help me further.

Also this one is a decent performer wide open.
Thanks

same flower shot as with the 135mm

My first thought is that this is a Cosina lens, it certainly has that look. I thought the aperture triangle might have made it a Cimko, but it's a solid triangle, so I suspect not.

Certainly looks nice. Good colour and seems sharp. One to look out for!

I've the same lens Smile

but mine is soft, and very soft around 4... Well, no, it's not softer, but everything "glows".

Sad, because it's a very compact lens and very pleasant to manipulate.

I have one of these too ... came in a M42 mount. Says " lens Made in Japan" ... I did a lens test on it and found it very sharp and great colours....
