Helios 44 2/58 Cine Mod Prime Portrait Lens – Sony E-mount! 44M 58mm F2!

🎬 Helios-44M 58mm F2 Cine Mod Prime Portrait Lens for Sony E-Mount

This Helios-44M 58mm F2 is a classic vintage Soviet prime professionally prepared for cinematography and professional video capturing work. TerPhoto has adapted and adjusted this lens for Sony E-mount, making it a practical option for filmmakers, videographers, and hybrid shooters who want true vintage rendering with modern usability. The lens covers full frame sensors, so it works well on Sony full frame bodies while also pairing beautifully with APS-C cinema and mirrorless cameras.

This cine-mod setup includes 2 follow focus gears for precise control of both focusing and aperture, helping the lens integrate smoothly into professional rigs, matte box setups, and follow focus systems. The lens has been fully cleaned, adjusted, and re-lubricated, so the mechanical operation is ready for production use. The included 80mm OD cine lens hood adds a more cinema-friendly front standard and helps improve handling on set.

Optically, the glass is in good condition and is free of fungus, scratches, and fog. As expected for a vintage lens of this age, there may be minor signs of wear on the glass, but these do not affect the final image. This is an excellent choice for shooters looking for vintage Helios character, organic contrast, pleasing portrait compression, and a distinct manual focus experience that stands apart from modern clinical optics.

Whether you are building a compact Sony E-mount cine kit, shooting portraits, music videos, narrative work, interviews, or stylized commercial footage, this Helios-44M offers a sought-after vintage look with practical cine modifications already completed.
