I received this Helios 44-2 with oil on the aperature blades. I got it for less than 10.00USD so no great loss. However, if there is a way to clean this I would be willing to give it a try. Any suggestions? Any links to diagrams?
Thanks in advance Smile

Hi Bob:

Peter was so kind of putting a copy of a PDF file describing the breakdown of the Helios 44-2 some time ago in his website:

Hope this helps. It was very useful for me...
Best regards,
Jes.

Thank you Jesito for the very helpful link and thank you Peter for having this on your site. This will give me an opportunity to try a little lens repair. I'll keep you posted.
I'm pretty good at taking apart, not so good getting things back together Laughing Laughing
