In the late 1980s, #KMZ began incorporating the #Pentax K Mount on their #Zenit cameras. K mount was developed by Pentax and introduced in 1975. KMZ, among other types, released #Helios style lenses with the K bayonet.

A week ago, I found a Helios 44K-4 MC for a bargain. Here it is sitting next to its M42 brother.

I might do some comparison shots in the future. I don’t expect too much difference in bokeh, but there might be in color and flare due to coating.

A monochrome photo featuring two KMZ camera lenses placed side by side. The lens on the left is a KMZ M42 Helios 44-2, while the lens on the right is a KMZ MC-Helios 44K-4 featuring the Pentax K mount designation. (Photo by me, CC-BY-4.0)

Bought this #classic #camera at the #fleamarket here in #florence .
The camera and 200mm lens seems in good working order, while the #helios is stuck at full #aperture .
Hope I'm able to repair it. Quite a good deal, for 50€!
But the most interesting part is still coming: there's a #film roll inside, and as far as I can tell (looking at the counter), it's almost all exposed. It may be a wonderful #timecapsule if developed, but should I really peek into someone else's life?
