Petzval - Modified Helios 44M-4 KMZ 2/58mm Lens, Legendary Swirled Bokeh, Vintage Lens with Petzval Effect /

  Adapter of Your Choice

 This is an original vintage lens made in the former Soviet Union ( USSR ). Helios-44M-4 - further improvement of the Helios-44M lens

This lens does not focus like a regular lens; this lens is designed for artistic photography with subsequent digital processing.

The lens produces a bokeh effect similar to a petzval with a fully open aperture and maximum defocusing of the background with the obligatory backlight. Example: the distance to the subject (portrait) is 1.5 m, the distance to the background (flowers) is 3.5 m. The background (flowers) is illuminated by lanterns. . Aperture f=2.

As a result, there is a portrait in the center of the frame, and swirling bokeh at the edges of the frame. To enhance sharpness, little digital processing is required

The lens is designed to work on SLR cameras with a flange length of at least 55mm, and on mirrorless cameras with an extension adapter that increases the flange distance to 55mm.
