Thanks. Mine is even different. It has the Valdai mark, but the top bezel is very narrow and the text is near the front element. Serial number starts with 88.
To be honest I am lost😅. I bought a Valdai 1978 Helios 44-2 and didn’t realize it at the time about 2-3 years ago. There doesn’t seem to be to much oil at all on the aperture blades thankfully. But I still get photos with terrible white balancing.
I have a 44M-4 and the text is all latin on the lens front and made in KMZ, but the serial number is starting with 84, so I assume they started making the type III in 1984. Would I be correct, as you showed a type III and you state that they started production in 1987?
Same situation - I got the "Type 3" lens made in 1984 from my mom's Zenit 12xp. Great she didn't like taking photos much, so despite traveling around northern Africa, the lens is still in mint condition haha
Do you ship to India? I want a Helios and a zenitar m2s if possible. I love the m2s but can't find any here. And most Helios lens I found arenot good. If you can help would love to buy from you.
according to reviews, KMZ produced Helios lenses tend to have a better build quality than Valdai. specific copies from both factories may vary of couse.
Hi there, i really love your in depth lens reviews, thank you. Im looking for a better Helios 44-2 now. ruclips.net/video/mV3MSfl-NYI/видео.html ... Do you have any "Industar 50-2 50mm lenses"? would you be willing to make a review for them too please?

I got recently a type 5, the serial numbers is 85 ! In perfect condition, thx for your videos that help allot
Thanks Roman - on your advice I found a very good condition Type 4 last year, and have NOT been disappointed :D
Great to hear!
Thank you Roman, I just purchased a very nice type 3 from you, and it is fantastic!
Thanks Roman. Good to see a new video too
Thx Roman. These lenses put to question of buying a mutil-thousand $£€ lens then put a pro-mist filter on it.
Great work as always Roman. I really appreciate all the effort you put into these videos.
Thank you Chris!
Thanks for the video. I am planning to get more vintage lens and this comparison of various Helios-es ir priceless.
I think mine is a type 2 as it’s dated 83, but the writing is in Latin letters. I brought mine up in the UK
Happy Christmas To you and family.. Your vids inspire and enlighten me and make me happy.. THANKYOU HAPPY XMAS : )
Thank you! Much appreciated! :)
Have the type 3 version in Sony A mount. Love it, great lens. Very Sharp, but is it some way to return it back to m42?
I love these videos!
Thanks. Mine is even different. It has the Valdai mark, but the top bezel is very narrow and the text is near the front element. Serial number starts with 88.

thank you for your input!
After very long time 👍
I have a 44M-4 from 1982 with Latin lettering. Would you call that type 2 or type 3?
Самые лучший гелиосы - это старый 13 лепестковый и 44-3 Беломо. Есть у меня для Пентаса 44К-4, в принципе хорошая тоже вещь
44-2 старых лохматых годов тоже очень хорошие =)

yes, it is possible. Thank you for your update

Great video analysis!
I have a 44m-4, it looks a lot like the Type 7, but produced by KMZ in 1993. Is it another variation?
Thanks Roman !!
Amazing review👏👏👏🙌🙌😮😮
Glad you liked it!

Hi. I am from Chicago. I would like to buy Helios 44 with ef mount. Is it possible to meet locally?
Which one would work best on M43? (I have a GH5) большой спасибо
try type 4 and you'll be happy
@@RetroFotoHouse спасибо!
i found a type 7 but made by KMZ. could there be a quality difference between KMZ and Valdai type 7?
according to reviews, KMZ produced Helios lenses tend to have a better build quality than Valdai. specific copies from both factories may vary of couse.
