Helios-44-2 58mm F2 Cine Mod Lens PL mount Ironglass First Generation

Description

Up for sale is a first gen Ironglass cine conversion of the lengendary Helios 44, 58mm F2 lens. I purchased this from a seller some time ago and it's an modded vintage lens, with gears for both focus and aperture, lens hood which is essentially a step up ring to 67mm filter size, plus the M42 lens mount has been adapted to PL mount. I have used this on my Panasonic EVA1 cine cam as well as my S1H, Leica SL2, and various Sony cameras with PL adapters with no issues at all. The only reason i am selling this is because I have a regular Helios for stills, and a new rehoused Ironglass Helios for video. This lens ends up in the middle and never gets used anymore. It's still a solid piece of kit! I have since lost the front lens cap, but i still have the rear. No returns whatsoever. PLEASE make sure this fits your camera and your needs! This is a vintage lens that has been cine-modded. It flares, it's soft wide open, the bokeh is swirly. But that's the appeal of these vintage lenses. Folks spend tons of money with filters and post-production effects to simulate the cinematic and vintage feel of these lenses and you can get it right out of camera with this one.
