Don´t Buy New Expensive Lenses - Look At This Instead!

in #lens7 years ago

Are you a professional or hobby photographer? Are you in thoughts to buy a lens that will cost you around 400-600 dollars or even more? Both of you can look over here, cause I want to tell something.

Robert Lindqvist, 25, from Vänersborg, Sweden.

My story with this lens started under my time when I studied filmmaking. I had my internship with a film production company (Crazy Pictures, available on youtube). Anyway, one day i got a mission from them to check and prepare the lenses before shoot. I got a metalbox full of lenses. And suddenly I saw a tiny little lens among the other. I took it up and looked on it, thought it was kind of a joke. It looked old and used. So I asked the crew and tested it. I took some photos, imported to the computer and then I got surpriced, or better, AMAZED!
A perfect lens for portraits and shooting in dark. The blurring effect in background makes it look something from a movie, very impressive!

And the best part, It´s really cheap(!!) MUCH lens for the money.

The lens name: Helios 44-2 58mm f/2.
I was lucky, a year ago I bought it for 49 dollar on Ebay. Check the link below for your luck!

To mount the old lens on a camera you need a converter. The lens have screw with diameter 42mm. So search for "M42 to Sony/Nikon/Canon" and you will find it! Also on Ebay for cheap prices!
