  7. mixbsd says

    Extraordinary technical skill to electronically adapt the lens! Does it also record the correct EXIF data for the lens model? 🙂

    Dear Retro Foto House,
    Your work is incredible 😊 but i have a question, i See in other videos but i can't find a solution, to modify the helios 44m-3 to a nikon f Mount, in which mode i can do it? I have 2.1 mm to retrieve, can i change the mount m42 to f Mount? Thanks a lot,
    Alberto

    Очень интересно.Как раз думал переделать несколько обьективов на отверточный автофокус.С донором не определился…Здесь как я вижу вы использовали Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm. f1,8 если не ошибаюсь?

  13. Juan Felipe Gómez says

    Excellent, Helios or Biotar lenses in autofocus and auto aperture. Awesome. Congratulations.

    I am a mechanical design engineer and I am really impressed! How did you figured out what Nikkor AF-D lens to use??? 🙂 Will you build one for me? I can buy the Nikon lens for you even. But probably better if you pick the very best shape Helios 44M-2 or 44M-3, or 44M-4 and do this. Can you use Helios 44M2 and 44M4, or does this has to be 44M-3? I really need the swirly bokeh for my Nikon D700 and D7100. I just recently discovered Helios swirly bokeh and I am hooked on this Russian gem! I love Nikkor or any lens for that matter that has unique bokeh. You are amazing! TD-007

    Why you don't ship lens to Lithuania? (Ebay info)

  16. Richard Haw says

    amazing! I was playing with one on my video and i said that i am sure that there is somebody who has done this before since it is common sense but i wasn't expecting somebody to be doing it this good enough to sell it! good job!

    This is modified with afd 50mm f1.8 lens i think. Nice work

  18. SmokeMonster says

    Brilliant work. That's is beyond incredible.

  19. ThorpeLyons says

    This is a fantastic idea. Will this lens work with a Nikon F100 autofocus film camera?

  20. Cisliano Giustizia says

    This is great. But how to make it ? Are you going to teach us with a video to assembly it? Cheers

  21. Antonio Garrido says

    hello frend.
    i have onde lens like this but is 44-2.
    this is normal?
    im loking on NET but do not found information about this.
    thanks.

  22. super channel… очень полезный канал. хорошо, что вы есть!

  23. kuopassa says

    Is the focusing done with screw motor in Nikon? So it doesn't work with D5000 or camera bodies that don't have screw motor.

  24. Ezio Falco says

    Amusing mod! Your technical skills are incredible. Hope to see that lens on your eBay store to see how much is for it. Congratulations! Ezio from Italy

  25. Clement yu says

    You did a great job! I am glad to see you made a great improvement to your video! I think changing the Zenitar M 50 1.7 to Nikon version is a good idea! 1.7 aperture with auto focus! WOW

  26. Rui Oliveira says

    Beautifull !! Keep with the good work ! Greetings from Portugal

  27. а как его адаптировать, видео бдет?

  28. Xavier Ancarno says

    This is amazing… you have to make some sample shot make a small article and post it to Petapixel and fstoppers .
    If you do a Canon version… I'm IN 👌👍👏

  29. Обзавидовался со своим Кэноном на никоновскую отвертку. В разобранный китовый Г-442 не лезет. Грущу.
