Helios 44M 58 mm f/2 Vintage Portrait Lens — the Swirly-Bokeh Legend

Helios 44M delivers: classic Soviet glass, signature “swirly” background blur, robust all-metal build, and a versatile M42 screw mount that adapts easily to modern Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus mirrorless and DSLR cameras. Perfect for portraits, street, and product shots. The fast f/2 glass shines in low light and produces a razor-thin depth of field. An 8-blade aperture paired with the Biotar optical design creates the famous spiral blur that isolates your subject and adds a cinematic vibe to every frame.
