There are many different configuration of the Helio 58mm so one must have some experience in rebuilding Lens such as counting the revolutions of each helical and marking of the disconnect point of each one.

This thread is specifically about the Helios 44M, though there was mention of Helios 44K-4 as well. Do you have suggestions for that lens. It is essentially similar to the Helios 44M-4 which is essentially similar to the 44M.

OK well as I said before, maybe this is not a good Lens for people who never rebuilt Lens before, having said that it is not the most difficult neither . So first is to remove the name plate then the filter retainer and the the lens block. Followed by removing the lens mount and then you can go about the business of rebuilding the helical. As far as the k- mount is should more or less be the same, but dont have one can say for sure.
