Helios 44 lens F/2 58 мм M39 Red P silver 13 blades 1958 very rare the USSR(1)

Description: Additional Information:Helios 44 P 58mm f/22 is a fast normal lens for 35 mm SLR cameras with an M39 mounting thread. This version of the lens was produced for 1 year. The first production Helios 44. The first Helios were made at Start and M39. They had LILAC coating and ONLY 13 aperture blades and the letter P. They had serial numbers with only three 000... for example; 0001026 and the second 0002048. These glasses had a minimum aperture of 22. These were experimental batches that had the best optical performance. very sharp with an open aperture. Around the end of 1961, the letter P was no longer written. Testing the remaining glasses with blue, cyan and most importantly golden coating from the KMZ plant had much worse optical performance. In total, a little more than 10,000 pieces of such rare glass were produced, maybe a little more). Next, KMZ production changed the lens to a minimum aperture value of 16. Serial numbers began with 00...! Serial production began, but the quality unfortunately began to decline. They began to produce ordinary "White" ones with numbers 00..., and 0...., with and without the letter "P". It was suggested on the forums that they were intended for managers of various ranks. This means about the first three glasses (000....) (added by Webwalker). Based on my detailed research, I come to the conclusion that the version of the Helios-44 lens with a 13-blade aperture with the letter P and precisely with lilac enlightenment has the most pronounced artistic design! More natural warm (not yellow) colors and a soulful shade.
