The main aspect of the Helios-81 lens is the combination of a standard 50mm focal length paired with high optical performance. The Soviet photographic industry already had quite a good and successful Helios-44 in various variations, but its focal length was 58mm instead of the generally accepted 50mm. Other eminent manufacturers also have lenses with a focal length of 55-58mm and the aspiration of Soviet optics to a focal length of 50mm is not a trivial task.The striving for 50 mm and aperture of 2.0 began with the Helios-65 lens in 1957, the calculation was made by the State Optical Institute (GOI). It is worth noting that the type of optical glass used to create the "new" lens was the same as for the Helios-44. The first was the G-65 version in the Helios-44 case, and then the version for rangefinder cameras with the M39 mount - prototypes and it is almost impossible to meet them at flea markets.The "correct" Helios-81M appeared simultaneously with the first SLR camera of the USSR with Nikon F mount - Kiev-17. The letter "M" in the title indicates a blinking diaphragm. The lens does not support the Nikon Ai function - on the aperture ring there is no characteristic aperture for the Camera leash, which determines the set aperture value on the lens, without this function the lens is recognized as non AI. Despite the fact that the Helios-81M lens is compatible with Nikon-F cameras, it will not work to install it on Nikon DSLR cameras. The reason lies in the same diaphragm ring, or rather the protruding part of the "skirt" - the issue is solved by stitching this "skirt". In addition, the lens has a single-layer optical coating. The diaphragm of the first issues may have a copper color, like that of the Helios-81 automatic machine. YOU CAN FIND MORE LIKE ITEMS ON MY EBAY PAGE.
