Yes. Kiev 19. Nikon mount. Several lenses were produced for this camera series. In addition to the Helios 50mm they include Arsat 2.8/20, Mir 24 N(H) 2/35, Kaleinar 5 N(H) 2.8/100 and Telear N 3.5/200. The lenses can be used on Nikon cameras with automatic aperture.

Helios 81N is a copy of 50 1.8 E. Is a good lens, bery well build. Good performance, much better than 44. But don`t use this lens on old Nikon cameras!!!This lens cost about 30-40$ alone.
Kiev has got Nikon mount. I`m selling one now.
Camera+Helios 15$ Very Happy

An early model of what ? Don't confuse it with the Zenit line of SLRs which were made in Krasnogorsk. This one was designed with a Nikon mount and made in... Kiev. I think that there were a couple of earlier models with Nikon mounts. Kiev 17 ?

Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev-Arsenal

says Kiev 17 preceding Kiev 19 and a couple of others afterwards. I don't know if it's true. Wikipedia also makes the Nikon E connection. And yet, on another thread in this forum, someone recently showed a different optical scheme for the Nikon E 2.8/100 and the Kaleinar 5N 2.8/100.
