The best and completed review on YT! Thank you!
Thank you Roman. I have seen wonderful pictures on the various vintage Facebook groups. The pictures from this lens usually are quite impressive.
Thank you Roman. My black 40-2 [861877], made in the same factory, has a tripod mount and weighs 902g without 67mm filter. It is a M42 thread mount.
Hi Patrick! You have old USSR 1986 made version. I talk about new one, from re-newed production from 2013. They are quite different
@@RetroFotoHouse Yes, with the added "bonus" of a small amount of oil on a few of the aperture blades :-)
As always another great review!
This is the new production Helios 40-2-N (N - for Nikon mount), there is the original Helios 40-2 that was produced in the USSR after Helios 40 production ceased. It has the tripod mount!
Very usefull information. Thank you!
Very interesting comparison. Both lens have amazing bokeh!
An outstanding video. Interesting, relevant and actionable.
Interesting to see the differencen between the 2 lenses, great video :-)
Very helpful comparison thankyou.
i had both, helios 40 silver is better on colour but 40-2 is sharper, i prefer silver helios 40. it produces dream images!!
yes, it does :)
Thanks for the review. Although you recommend the new Helios, I prefer the old one and I've just bought one on Ebay :)
I have totally fallen head over heels in love with your lenses. I have subscribed, and I plan on buying a lens a month for a while.
Thank you!
bookeh beast,i wish i could afford one ... i love the warm touch of all zeiss glasses and i would prefer the old version. i like the heavy feeling of all the glass and metal XD, nice review, happy new year!
happy new year!
Amazing bokeh shoot
Loving the work you put it! Do you still have any for sale?
Right now-not, but can seek for nice one upon a command
Thanks for this great video. Just bought the 40-2!
What is the difference between 40-2, 40-2-C, and 40-2-H ?
first is m42 mount, second is Canon EF mount, third is Nikon F mount
Спасибо за обзор

You have an eBay store by the same name (retrofotohouse) correct?
If you are the one I bought a Helios 44 adapted to Nikon F mount, well I am very impressed!
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Hey so I got one yesterday. The 40-2.
But mines does not have the traditional 6XXXX or the N7XXXX.
Mine is like yours. It says “150204”
What does this mean? Is there a different between them?
Nice, which of the Helios 40-2 versions do you recommend? As far as I saw there are Helios 40-2, Helios 40-2 (Zenith from 2013), Helios 40-2 (Zenith from 2019) versions available, right? Any comment would be great. Thnx.
I review helios 40-2 from 2013. In my point of view it is better than helios 40
@@RetroFotoHouse I know you reviewed Helios 40 vs. Helios 40-2. There are some versions of Helios 40-2 (not Helios 40), see above and here: www.slrlounge.com/russian-lensmaker-zenit-announces-new-helios-40-2-85mm-f1-5/
Some have Zenith Logo, some not.
yes, i review helios 40-2 2013 production. The one in your link is from 2019. It is a bit of different body design.
@@RetroFotoHouse I bought a 1974 KMZ, 40-2 how does it compare it also has tri- pod mount. it is a multi-coated lens.

@@RetroFotoHouse but go you have any idea where I can get it Please TY.
WS !
Please review Helios 77M-4 F1.8/50mm. Thank you
will come in the future for sure
Thank you 🙏
There is a 40-2 version, black, of the Soviet times. How does that one compare?
i'm talking about it in my video, comparing it to helios 40
@@RetroFotoHouse I thought you are focusing on the newly produced Russian Helios 40-2, not the Soviet 40-2.
40-2 one is better
Да ладно, можно и по-русски. Зачем так напрягаться?
What about the 44M?
Different lens: 58mm f/2.
