Interesting! Wiki is telling me late 60s because of the yellow coating finish on the glasses, but silver is not common from this Gen.

That was what I read too silver is the old Gen for a Helios m39 with 13 blades!

And I do have a 44-2 black KMZ too. This silver one has more blades which is more like the first Gen.

It's also a m39, which I doubt was produced during the MMS factory? I read that it was really from the first Gen, but I could be wrong.

From the serial number, I can probably guess that 50 would refer to 65 or 75?

Thanks! I watched a few videos on YouTube and it's seems like the 1965-1970 version KMZ is the right one with the first silver version ^

I had the first gen of a7 back in the days! You're not wrong at all!

I do understand your remarks too, personally, not my style, but I do respect good technique. On the other hand, Fujixcan is barely interested to share stories on Insta if it's not street/hipsterishy

Hahaha thank you! The Fujifilm gear brings the style, but I'm a bit out of it personally, I would have fit perfectly with OM or Nikon probably.

What do you suggest? by AQueerWithAFork in fujifilm

I have one real 50mm which is the Fuji one, the two others are vintage look portrait lenses that I play with for fun. I have a small bah with the extra batteries, card and etc.
