They make all these new re-issues of classic lenses these days, but this one is ignored, might be because of the availability, but still.. an autofocus version of the Helios 44-2 would be awesome.

Because the lens is so soft wife open your pdaf will struggle to understand if it's focused or not

Because the best version of this lens is in an obscure M39 SLR mount and was only made for a few years.

alright fine I'll allow that one, but the original 44 was the best 44 and the earliest versions had Zeiss elements in them.

I got so fucking sick of reddit because they shit on manual lenses (the sony alpah sub is pure cancer) so stop worrying about auto focus

Lmao the single biggest advantage of mirrorless is how it’s superior for manual focus so redditors complain about manual focus on mirrorless

Joining any photography community centered around a specific brand is a mistake, because the focus is inherently gear instead of taking good photos.
