Got myself a very nice Canon 5D mark I full frame camera a few weeks ago, but only got a chance to test it with my manual gear yesterday...
Previously belonging to a fellow manual gear lover, it came with a fine focusing screen.
The following shots were taken with my 1958 silver 13 blade Helios 44 lens:
These were shot on a Canon 5D I using a 1958 silver M39 13 aperture blade Helios 44...
f/4
f/2.8
And these were shot on a Canon 5D I using a 1974 black M42 Helios 40...
All were shot at f/1.5-f/1.7

Just curious - how did you determine that your Helios 44 is from 1958 or 1959? I have an early Helios 44 with a 0008xxx serial, but I'm not sure about its year of manufacture. |

I think that this is what the listing said when I bought it, but I guess it can be wrong;
The serial on my lens is really early 0000891, it is M39 mount, has 13 blades, and the front says "Helios" in Russian - 44, 1:2, F = 5,8cm, has red "n", aperture goes to f/22, minimal focusing distance is 0.5 meters .
From what I know, the production of these under the name helios (as opposed to "biotar krasnogorskiy") started at 1958.
So the guess of 1959 seems to be quite on the mark, although it can also be from 1958...
From 1960 on the serial numbers start with 60. _________________ Tair 11 133 f/2.8 1958

I've used various Helios 58mm lenses on my NEX, recently i bought also a 5D. I even love them more on full-frame, i feel it's easier to achieve the typical bokeh and character!
