How much will it cost for one current/recent 50mm f2.0 Heliar Classic model? What is the market rate? I have one. Might want to sell it as i only use 35mm PII

$275-350. Current new price is $399.00 sadly I paid the full new price of $499.00. I traded mine away for credit toward a 50 'lux. I'm happy with the decision.

Thanks BigSteveG. Currently now i am still very stuck to the 35mm and not yet try out the 50mm. It hibernating in the dry cabinet...........

The Skopar is indeed a beautiful lens. I love the built quality and the rendering. I love its high contrast (as some may not). It's simply beautiful on my IIf with the additionnal square shade.

Here are a few samples with XP2 film at 1600 using an orange filter on.

Thanks for the samples, Julian; this is a great little lens.

Jupiter-3! 🙂

Thanks for posting some photos, Julien; several shots other attribute to this lens seem a little soft.
Does the rendition change significantly as the lens is stopped down, or are we just seeing (in some other work) problems with focus and camera movement.
One of the things I enjoy about RFs as opposed to SLRs is that the finder is always bright and a relatively slow lens is easy to focus.

Hi everyone , I'm a freshman of RF camera.

My equipment is R2M + Heliar 50/2 combo.

My first color slides. (Fujifilm Fujichrome Sensia 100) Thanks!

I have the Nokton, a really great lens, sharp and nice-looking too. I voted for it, but would love to try out the CS.

🙂

as for me, the beauty of such lenses is ability to use them on widest settings.
Do you have pics with Bokeh and wide open?
I'm choosing between 50/2 and 50/1.5, but I think Nokton should have more smooth bokeh

Well, I don't have the Nokton, but from what I saw here and on Flickr, the bokeh is not that smooth.
I second your comment re. Jupiter 3 though!

Best regards,

I really like Jupiter 3 bokeh. But AFAIK from Russian owners, it does not focus properly on Bessas

Finally got to posting four photos from the 50/2.5 Skopar in my gallery here. Look for 'VC 50/2.5 tests Delta 400'
Comments and criticism welcome.

I've let go of the 50 mm Heliar in partial trade for

pre-asph 50 'lux (which I truly love by the way). I was a little critical of the lens, but it is nice and I found the focusing to very quick. More so than the 'lux or 50mm Hex which I also own. I do miss that feature and small/coolness factor. Here are shots I took in very low light. wide open, 1 1/15....push processed to ASA 1600. Sometimes, I wish I would've kept it. But the 'lux and Hex win out for me.

 

[BigSteveG]

Both lux and Hex render detail much better boke is prettier especially w/ Hex.

 

[minoltist7]

Why nobody mentioned Konika M-Hexanon 50/2 ?

 

[mackigator]

Shhhhh ... don't talk about the M-Hexanon 50/2. Prices are already up. 😉

 

[Back2theFuture]

Nokton 1.5. I just dont think it can be beat 🙂 The 1.5 will open up a lot of opportunity as well!

I got the Color-Heliar with the R2M. As Abbazz said, a very fine lens. It´s well build, tiny and gives a - at least in my opinion - very nice bokeh.

Seems like everyone says that the bokeh from Heliar is good.. well, as far as I saw from picture posted by other people (I don't have it) it seems to produce a "swirly" bokeh.. Do you really like it?

Some shots using my IId and the Skopar. Kodak 400CN, with a yellow filter, no PS sharpening applied. Shots chosen for the detail they show. If this is soft I'm an unkeys munkle...
