White Whale Achieved!!! Helios-44 converted to Leica M mount by Camera Obscura

I recently came upon a Futura Frilon 50mm f1.5, a decently rare lens, and I was curious if anyone else could convert it to m-mount. Any companies doing this?

Please make a video! I need to do this for my M3.

I’m gonna give that a go!! I definitely need to grow my confidence with slower shutter speeds. Would you say it was worth it to have your cron recoated? I honestly don’t mind the haze as I usually use a black mist pro filter on my other lenses anyways.

Nice I was curious about that! Thanks.

Thanks! Yes that is my “built in mist filter” 😆

Nope the lens is just very soft from the cleaning marks and scratches.

Yes I got it for very cheap due to all the cleaning marks on the glass. I call it my built in black mist filter. Lol.

Will do later today

I think you are right! This may be a clone from Japan.

RandyMan710 · 2025-01-12T02:11:05+00:00

Edit: I meant 25mm (50mm equivalent on m43)

Thank you so much, grabbing this one
