It is a licensed descendant of the \u003cstrong\u003eCarl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f\/2\u003c\/strong\u003e — six elements in four groups, essentially unchanged from a pre-war German design — and wide open it produces the swirling, rotating background blur that no modern lens will give you at any price. Stop down to f\/2.8 and it sharpens into a perfectly serviceable normal lens. Millions were made, which is why a genuine piece of optical history costs what it does here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 58mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum aperture: f\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture blades: 6, automatic diaphragm (pin-actuated, no A\/M switch — a pin-pressing adapter suits it best on mirrorless)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical design: 6 elements in 4 groups, derived from the Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoating: Multicoated (MC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: M42 42mm screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus: Manual, minimum 0.5m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter thread: 52mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 242g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 35mm full-frame coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic: Excellent+ condition, with no fungus, haze or scratches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional: Smooth and working well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMC Helios 44M-4 58mm f\/2 lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D printed lens cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean glass throughout and a smooth focus ring.
