some sort of flash i think
hannimex 35-200 f3.8-5.6= like new condition its own pouch
i dont know how much this lot is worth, but a £6 it was worth a punt |

You'll certainly have fun with the Helios! Don't worry about oil on the blades, the lens is preset and I do wonder if it was by design...

Er, pack of AA batteries, or two rolls of 35mm colour print film, or a snack in the pub . . .
Quite a good buy

bfb1150gs,
"Oil on iris blades" is something that had been made to be an issue way out of its context. An automatic lens (when mounted to a matching camera) has its iris diaphragm always open fully, and then it shuts down to the selected value just before the shutter run-down, and then opens up just after the shutter has finished its travel. If the blades are oily, diaphragm action will get slowed down to the point that it would not be stopped down to its desired value when the shutter starts running.
In the case of a lens with manual diaphragm, or a lens is used with its diaphragm operated manually, there is no difference at all. In the former case, having oil on the iris blades would not be something that would impede its functions, so the thought that "oil on iris blades is bad" just does not apply here at all. |

Great bargain. Lovely old flash reflector. Does it fold up like a fan? I'm afraid you may need to scour a lot more boot sales before you find the bulbs for it. It's probably a magnesium flash which burns a bulb each time.

Our American readers may like to note that you buy "fags" 20 at a time in England, because they are cigarettes.

The Helios 44-2 is a copy of the Zeiss Biotar - a very nice lens.
