Russian Helios 44-2 58mm F/2.0 (Zeiss clone) From the early 1990's
Loaner from a dear friend. Im sure it was a secret ploy to get me drooling for one.... and it worked LOL
My "new" Helios 44-3 58mm F/2.0 should arrive from the Ukraine in a few weeks...
Quickies.... no setup, no tripod... just point and click
Known for its "Zeiss" Bokeh.... an amazing lens, especially for the price.
So far, It seems these are among the best buys/must haves for Canon EOS Owners....
1. Vivitar 70-210mm*
2. Vivitar 28mm Close Focus Wide Angle*
3. Good quality 50mm F/1.4 (Yashica or Pentax)*
4. Helios 44-2 or 44-3*
1,2,4 are easily found under $100USD ea. on Ebay. A good quality 50mm 1.4 is going to run $100-200USD depending on model, condition etc.
*Many variants of above, some not desirable, some junk, some not usable.... really got to do your homework and know what to look for.
