Helios 44M-7 MC 58mm f/2
P 3,700
Freebies
1. M42 to EOS adapter; shown in 2nd photo attached to lens (value: P 788.39)
Description
1.
Stiff manual focus ring, not good for moving subjects but perfect for static objects - still life, architecture, landscape.
2. Problems handling direct light (hazy, low contrast)
3. No front/rear lens cap so I put it inside a plastic container that used to contain cotton buds
4. It has a 58mm filter thread so buying a UV filter for it isn't a problem
5. No fungus, scratches, dents

RFS: Redundant with my 44M. I thought it would be better than my 2nd Helios, Helios 44M but it isn't. I did notice that Helios 44M-7 MC is sharper at f/2.8 compared to the 44M.
Found my posts in another forums that showcases the sharpness of this lens:
