My HELIOS (Ге́лиос) 44-2 Vintage Soviet Lens Review, including that iconic Swirly Bokeh Footage! ✅ My Color Grading LUTs and Presets: [ Ссылка ]
In this video, we'll be taking a look at photos and 4K footage from the Helios (Ге́лиос) 44-2, 58mm f2 lens. Known by many for its "swirly" bokeh, the 44-2 is one of my favorite lenses for so many reasons. This vintage Soviet lens was optically modeled after the Carl Zeiss Biotar, which gives the Helios its beautiful, iconic swirling bokeh.

It's been a rainy spring in Colorado, so I took the opportunity to put the Helios on my Nikon Z6 and capture some cinematic, moody footage. I love the sharpness of this lens, paired with its creamy, shallow depth of field. Let me know what you think in the Comments!
