Serviced CLA'd Belomo Helios 44-2 58mm F/2 Lens, With Lens Caps

Description: Selling off more of my collection. ==== Helios 44-2 58mm f2. A slight revision of the CZJ Biotar design, and this particular example was made in 1983 at the Belomo plant going by the serial number and manufacturers' logo. Cleaned this particular lens in 2020. Cameras shown in pictures are for test purposes only, and not included in final sale (though they are available for purchase separately). ---- Front element: 'cleaning marks' are present. Rear element: same as front; 'cleaning marks' present. Middle elements: relatively clear, some dust which I was unable to remove. Iris: clean and clear, though there are wear patterns on the blades consistent with prior oil. Focusing: smooth throughout, though I have noticed the lens can unscrew easily from my K-1 (and mounts slightly offset). Never had the issue on any of my M42 screwmount cameras, so not sure as to why this occurs. Aperture adjustment: smooth throughout. Body: good condition, without any paint peeling or large scratches. The focusing ring can rock if you really tug on it, but otherwise is solid - same with the aperture ring. --- Test pictures were taken wide open at f2 and then stopped down to ~f7 on my K-1 at 3200ISO - additional brightness was added in post.The other pictures have been edited, but were taken with the K-1 at ISO100 and auto white balance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the lens.
