Hi!
It came with the lens. I guess they are rare? I was lucky because I've read that this lens really needs a hood. This is not multicoated like the later model 40-2. |

Neither Helios-40 are multicoated. But the coating of the black version, especially of the later ones, seems to be better. In any case, both lenses definitely need a lens hood if you are after a crisp detailed performance (if you are looking for wide opean dreamy effect you might do without).

Have no regrets: the 40-2 also flares like hell without a lens shade.
Edit: Sorry, Orio, I hadn't seen your post when I pressed the "Submit" button.

The 1.2 Taika is interesting in two ways, first it uses the Exakta external bayonet and second, it is the fastest lens ever produced in Exakta mount.

Today I took my time to make a severe "crash-test" to find out, what is my best lens.
Best due to "bokeh, sharpness and color rendition".
I took all my 35mm, 50mm and 58mm lenses and compared them.
The clear winner was:
 [/b]
Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58/2.0 (rare black metal version)
You can count the amount of the blades if you like...

My aaa is Biometar 2.8/80mm M42. Tessar 2.8/80mm and Pancolar 1.8/80mm are on their way. Not sure who will be the best. but, Biometar is too good. |
