Helios 44 2/58 Prime Cine Mod Lens For Filmmaking | Sony E-mount! 44M-4 58mm F2!

Helios 44M-4 58mm F2 Cine Mod is a classic portrait lens, re-engineered and professionally modified for modern cinematography and video production. Based on the legendary Helios 44 optical design, this lens is famous for its swirling bokeh, rich color rendition, and unique vintage character that has made it a favorite among filmmakers worldwide.

This lens has been carefully cine-modded for professional filmmaking use. It is equipped with two 0.8 pitch follow focus gears for smooth and precise adjustments of both focus and aperture, allowing seamless integration with follow focus systems. The aperture has been de-clicked, enabling silent and fluid exposure transitions during shooting. Additionally, the lens comes with a metal 80mm OD cine lens hood featuring a 77mm filter thread, making it compatible with industry-standard matte boxes, ND filters, and other professional accessories.

The optical performance of the Helios 44M-4 delivers a cinematic look that digital lenses often struggle to replicate. Its 58mm focal length is ideal for portraits, interviews, and artistic shots, while its fast F2 maximum aperture provides excellent subject isolation and low-light performance. The distinctive swirly bokeh effect gives footage a dreamy, organic quality that has become a hallmark of Soviet-era glass in modern cinema.

This particular copy has been adapted and adjusted for Sony E-mount, ensuring perfect fit and usability on both full-frame and APS-C Sony mirrorless cameras. The lens has been fully serviced—cleaned, re-lubricated, and tested for smooth operation. The focus and aperture rings turn precisely, providing full manual control for filmmakers who demand accuracy.

Please note: The glass is in good condition, free from fungus and deep scratches. Very minor cleaning marks may be present due to the lens’s age (40–50 years old), which is completely normal for vintage optics and will not affect image quality.
