Pros: Quality of the construction material of the lens, despite the years on his shoulders - Great blurred - Wonderful sharpness in the center - Attack M42, perfect to be used on Canon - Price derisory that it recovers
Cons: Washed-out - Little sharpness on the edge - not uniformity among the different specimens on the market - Very little bokeh typical, "swirl"
Opinion: Zenit Helios 44 58/2 is one of the first optical Helios series 44-X (where X is a number between 2 and 7) and may also be available as a 44-1. Product, it is retrieved on the network, in version with different attack: M39, M42 and K, as many other optical Russian vintage, lack of uniformity and consistency in the quality between the different units available to buy on mercato.rnSi figures really negligible, although it lacks the typical bokeh "defective" other Helios - the known swirl - and it colors a little 'off, or rather very greyish / blue (but could easily be a feature of my model - 1972 type Jena , Latvia) that give little saturation and little liveliness to the image but that become perfect for shooting in black and nero.rnLo focus is scary, in the positive sense of the term. At maximum aperture, F: 2 is sharp and very well marked, which remains valid for 2.8 and as it closes up slowly to subside. Bokeh & egravis; perfectly circular, nervous and equity; It tends to deviate slightly oval edges, but in the form almost imperceptible. rnData the focal length, and use almost only on APS-C, is a great portrait lens and, in fact, performs its job very well. Makes, thanks to the focus, the skin much less "sharp" than many other lenses, without getting lost in highlighting the look (with focus on the eyes) .rnSulla my Canon 60D, with adapter provided with Electronic chip focus ( € 10) - remains manual, aperture control in manual - allows a correct operation even dell'esposimetro.rnPer the ridiculous price that is retrieved, about 20 € plus shipping, is an excellent purchase: costs very little, less the remote control for remote control of cameras and returns, with its obvious limitations, an incredible user experience! |
