Description

Bring cinematic beauty to your visuals with the Helios 44 58 mm F2 Cine-Mod Lens, expertly re-engineered for Canon EF-mount cameras. This vintage Soviet-era optic has been fully transformed into a professional cinematography tool – meticulously serviced, cine-geared, and optimized to deliver authentic vintage character with modern precision.


🎬 Professionally Cine-Modded for Filmmakers


Every Helios 44 lens is rebuilt by skilled technicians for seamless use in modern film production:

  • Dual 0.8 Pitch Follow Focus Gears – for accurate, repeatable control of both focus and aperture rings.
  • De-Clicked Aperture – allows smooth, silent exposure transitions.
  • 80 mm OD Cine Hood – ready for matte boxes and standard cine accessories.
  • Canon EF Adaptation – adjusted for perfect infinity focus on Canon DSLR and cinema cameras.
  • Fully Serviced – cleaned, re-lubricated, optically aligned, and checked for sharpness.
  • Front & Rear Caps Included – safe transport and storage for professional use.


🌌 Cinematic Rendering & Optical Character


The Helios 44 is famous for its signature swirly bokeh and painterly depth. This custom cine-mod version takes that visual magic further by introducing an anamorphic-style oval aperture, creating a stunning neutral oval bokeh and smooth out-of-focus highlights. By simply applying a 2.35:1 letterbox in post-production, you can achieve a widescreen cinematic look—no de-squeeze required.


Expect:

  • Creamy, neutral oval bokeh with strong subject isolation.
  • Subtle blue flares under direct light—classic cinematic atmosphere.
  • Gentle vintage contrast with natural skin tones.
  • Smooth focus throw for controlled rack-focus transitions.
  • A tactile, mechanical feel that gives you total creative control.
