| Site Supporter Location: Toronto, Canada Posts: 704 | [SOLD] Helios 40 85mm f/1.5 PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing Item for Sale Helios 40 85mm f/1.5 Asking Price $300 USD obo Item Description I purchased this from kkado here on the forum a short while ago. I've had a lot of fun with it, and really enjoy the rendering of this lens, but now it's time for me to let it go (if somebody will buy it!). I'll be listing some more manual focus/M42 stuff shortly too. Here is the original thread with some great pics and description of the lens, including some good shots of the glass (as kkado said, there are a few spots on the glass as seen in his pics, but in the periphery--definitely not an issue on digital, but I can't say on film). [SOLD] Helios-40 85mm f/1.5 recent CLA! The filters are also included, though they're not in the greatest shape--I thought of them as for collection purposes. A couple of things to add (as well as my own pics). It's the M39 version but already has an M42 ring attached. Infinity focus is not possible, but when the lens is physically at infinity it focuses about 100 ft away. I wasn't bothered by that, because I wanted it for closer stuff anyway. Focus is very smooth, but takes more effort than most lenses. The aperture is a preset system, so one ring sets the maximum aperture and the other you actually turn to stop down. The second ring can get a little loose, but there are little screws which are easily tightened. I'd like to add that kkado did a great job restoring this lens! It's a sight to behold and has been a pleasure to own. A few pics from the lens today. Some contrast adjustments, but not much PP--the colour from this lens really pops! Wide open:  Hey, you're in my bokeh!!    Stopped down a bit:   Thanks for looking!  Are you the original owner of the item being sold? No Are you selling or trading this item?

Does that mean I can stop holding that CZJ 20/4 for you? |
