I could not get the aperture blades to work and the seller let me keep it and refunded my money . I got them to work but only after i opened the lens. I already have a really nice 50mmf1.4 nFD dated 1981. This is a really impressive lens, but i wanted to try the s.s.c. again. I had one a couple years ago.

    The best place I have discovered to get the highest quality Helios 44-2 is via Iron Glass in their Cine-Modded section. It costs a bit extra, but they will source the lenses for you, clean the lenses, add up to 16 aperture blades, de-click lens and add the correct mount (PL, Sony E, Canon EF, M4/3 and FUJI mounts) without the need for an adapter which is so nice. They also add gears to the aperture and focus rings. They add a 77mm front thread for filters and also will add an anamorph-fake with different options and flare tints. Probably the most thorough way to ensure its gonna work great! They also offer this type of service for a whole range of soviet vintage lenses from 16mm-135mm and even offer them in lens sets that work well together.

    • @talesbyvlad
      @talesbyvlad 4 месяца назад

      And the best part is that Iron Glass provided their new versions of rehouses soviet lenses for Dune2 movie! They also offer rehousing for Carl Zeiss Jena lenses and hopefully will expand their lens lineup

    Thanks for sharing your experience with your Outback Vlad. I agree that Subaru have made a serious alternative to the vehicles you described. I somewhat like their big touchscreen and yet I wish they had a few more essential buttons rather than having to use the screen to access frequently required essentials (how much to repair/replace that touchscreen and how one cannot operate certain features if it fails to work) = maybe they will modify it with more buttons during newest versions of Outback. Anyway, happy for you. May the Ukraine be victorious against Putin and may your Allies from Europe and USA, Canada and many others who stand against such an Autocrat/Dictator, and may some USA voters awaken to not vote in a wannabe dictator/king who unfortunately is running for the Republican presidential ticket (hypnotizing many with his rhetoric, expects complete loyalty and submission like an Antichrist and has a history of being a compulsive liar… and is a Putin supporter).
