Efforts have been made to reflect the scale of the distance indicator originally displayed on the Helios lens as it is. There may be some errors due to inaccuracies in measurement process. :)
Unfortunately I don't have this lens. Since my wishlist is full of other lenses, there is no empty spot for this lens. :( I don't know when it will be, but I'll try when I get this lens.
Kinda sad that you dont make more of them, but I get that can can only really make em if you have the lens in person. So Im asking if its possible for the STEP or F3D files to be released, or some other editable format so people can mod them for their own lenses?
I love the Canon FD 50 1.4 lens housing! Can you do a housing for a Vivitar 28 2.8? I love that lens but it's so small and needs some better functionality.
Based on the scale that was originally marked on the lens, it is only displayed in the same proportions, so I hope you will use this as a reference only. (Actually, even this was done by hand, so precision is lacking) Don't trust this scale (numerical) too much. In most cases, you'll be using a digital camera, so I think it's a good idea to check the focus directly with the camera's live view :)
Hey! This is a game changer! I have a question regarding the inner metal hood . I can’t seem to find that hood anywhere besides on aliexpress and that is a month and a half wait time. You have any other places to find the exact hood with front filter thread? I don’t want to end up buying the wrong one! Thank you again for all of your hard work!
Unfortunately, the front housing part wraps around the hood inside, so it's probably not fully fixed and can rotate. You could either attach the mat box directly to the filter step-up ring or secure the mat box with a camera rig system using a 15mm rod.
Can I still use an EF adapter instead of a PL adapter with this design? I know you have an older version with EF but I really like the design of this version better. 😁
Wow. Amazing Job! Just wondering, I'm currently using L Mount. Is it possible to not use M42 to PL and mount it directly using K&F m42 to L Mount Adaptor
If we are not going to get the 55mm lens hood from AliExpress, due to extremely long shipping times. What is the lens hood length? I found different options on amazon in the US but there all different lengths and the AliExpress version doesn't share that info.
Great job as always! But I don’t understand if helios is really so popular that it was worth the time to update it? Soviet lenses are very sad in my opinion.
I personally don't think there are any bad lenses. Each has their own personality and is very interesting, and if used properly, old lenses are also useful for obtaining image effects that are difficult to obtain with modern lenses. Like a middle-aged gentleman who has unique charms, even if he is not young and handsome. It is difficult to say that the Soviet lens is an optically superior lens compared to the lenses of the similar period, but I think it is a 'Not bad' lens. I thought it would be useful for creating a unique vintage footage effect in digital imaging as well, and I just wanted to increase the usability by upgrading the housing. :)
@@MountainBreezeStudio I'm just wondering, after these updates are the lenses in demand on the rental market? Or are you not doing all of this for the tenant filmmakers?
this look amazing again ! keep up the amazing work! does the top/front part fit with the other parts from the previous? ruclips.net/video/YjTHNZ8aTyg/видео.html looks really simular i assume it does hence the name upgrade. asking to be sure!
@@deleted7298 Woops! Oh I'm so sorry! I made a mistake and posted the wrong hood product link. I checked your comment and corrected the link information now. I'm really sorry!
Another awesome video! How are you determining the spacing of the distance measurement marks?

Do you think that you will ever design a rehousing for the Mir - 1b?
It would be absolutely amazing if you could!
Unfortunately I don't have this lens. Since my wishlist is full of other lenses, there is no empty spot for this lens. :(
I don't know when it will be, but I'll try when I get this lens.
@Aden Jairo These are both automated bots.
Flixzone is a scam website
Cool! What filament did u use for 3dprint?

Unfortunately, I don't have a Vivitar 28mm f2.8 lens, so I can't try the lens housing upgrade. Sorry!
Thank you for your time and work ! Great ! May I ask how did you calculated the focus and iris measurements on housing rings ? Are they true values ?
Based on the scale that was originally marked on the lens, it is only displayed in the same proportions, so I hope you will use this as a reference only.

Why are there teeth on the aperture ring if it moves along the axis very strongly when focusing? Or the teeth need to be made wider.
Any chance seeing you rehouse the following? :)
MIR 20mm f3.5
MIR 1B 37mm f2.8
Jupiter 9 85mm f2
Or the TAIR 135mm f2.8?
Would love to see it!
Unfortunately I don't have these lenses, so I don't have any concrete work plans for these lenses at this time.

Hi sir, great work as usual. Would be very glad if you could do one for Pentax 50mm 1.2 or other versions of Helios lenses too like 44m4, etc.,
Thank you! Unfortunately, I don't have that lens, so it's difficult to live up to expectations.
@@MountainBreezeStudio I completely understood, sir. But still all your past uploads were real gems. Thank you for all your great contributions!
Hello, thanks a lot for sharing. Does front part moving or not? I want to attach mattbox

Yes it is possible :)
@@MountainBreezeStudio Sweet thanks! Also what material do you recommend we use the print this?
@@Redm0ndFilms Since I mainly print indoors, I used PLA filament, an eco-friendly material.
Wow. Amazing Job!
Just wondering, I'm currently using L Mount. Is it possible to not use M42 to PL and mount it directly using K&F m42 to L Mount Adaptor
Did u try it now?
Awesome work! Can I use this 3d print with EF mount instead PL? Thanks
Yes. If you further configure the rear housing part of the link below, this is possible with an EF mount. :)

The length of the hood is 20mm (excluding the threaded part at the bottom).
@@MountainBreezeStudio awesome thank you
Which hood did you end up buying? I’m in the same position
Will this work for the 44M-4?
was this ever resolved?
Hi do sell these lenses. I need 6 for my blackmagic ursa pl cameras.
Good work done
Do you sell the modified lens
Sorry. I made it for my personal needs, so I don't sell it separately. Print it yourself as a free shared file and make it yourself. :)
Hello would this fit a helios 44-3 as well?
I don't have a Helios 44-3 lens so I'm not sure, but it probably won't fit.
@@MountainBreezeStudio how about 44-4 ?

Yes, only the front part has changed. The rear part of the EF mount version was removed as it was not needed. All other parts are the same.
@@MountainBreezeStudio toptop! thanks ! keep up the great work !
@@MountainBreezeStudio the 55mm cilindrical metal hood is way too long? i ordered the one from ali but its like double the length that your using?

I'm really sorry!
@@MountainBreezeStudio haha no worries lol its cheap.
