6 LENS RUSSIAN MIR HELIOS JUPITER  FULL FRAME COVERAGE CINE MODDED ADAPTED EF LENS SET (DECLICKED APERTURES PERMANENT DELRIN MACHINED FOCUS GEARS 77mm FRONT) RENTED SET INCLUDES  MIR20 20 f3.5 / MIR10 28 f3.5 / MIR1 37 f2.8 / HELIOS 58 f2 / JUPITER9 85 f1.8 / JUPITER11 135 f4 /

An eclectic blend of all the best Russian lens companies of the 1960's and 70's  (Zenit, Zoms, Lzos, Komz)  Mir 20, 28 and 37, Helios 44, Jupiter 9, Jupiter 11 . Some highlights of the set include one of our all-time favorite wide angle lenses ever produced, the Mir 20 f4.5, it's very sharp and rectilinear with absolutely crazy lens flares in direct light- all while retaining a decent amount of contrast. Then one of the most unique lenses of all time with the swirly, artful bokeh- the Helios 58 f2 (as seen in features recently like the Batman). The intensely gorgeous bokeh of the Jupiter 9 with stunning 11 aperture blades. There's so much to love about each of the lenses in their own way, always fun to see the images they produce. Russian lens companies were not known for extremely well built mechanics or excellent build qualities so expect some quirks using this set. We opted to build a set of the earlier models of these great lenses because the glass and manufacturing of these models of lenses declined greatly over the years.

*important notes on this Russian set.

*most of these apertures are naturally stepless and operate different than most photographic lenses of the time- invest some time to get to know how they operate

*20mm will not take screw on adapters

*screw on m42 adapters on each lens means being careful when mounting-dismounting lenses.
