My neither and I have considered myself to be fairly up on the Helio 44 series 58mm lenses.

Thats what i find it as on google as well hehe.

Post a couple photos of the lens (front and top) when you get a chance. Start a new thread in the lens section of this site. I am really curious as to what you have.
