- Hello friends,
Today, I show you how to completely re-grease the Helios 58mm f/2, probably the most popular vintage lens out there. I got this copy very cheap because the focusing ring grease was dry and not very nice to use.

Un placer verte trabajar....habilidad,paciencia,y mucho detalle....gracias🍀🍀
Gracias hombre, un abrazo !
Omg bro, you read my mind. If I may please make a video just for Cyclop 85/1.5. Thank you very much.
Hi, glad the video is spot-on for you. About the cyclop, if I ever cross paths with one in need of help, absolutely. Don't forget to share with friends !
Thank you for the video, does it work for 44K4 pentax mount?
Hi, my guess is that besides the bayonet the construction is otherwise the same, so, yes. Proceed in any case with care and do your markings at each critical step !
Hola, amigo. Qué tal este objetivo en cámaras digitales? ¿Merece la pena? Ahora parece que hay tendencia a volver a usar estas lentes antiguas en cámaras modernas.
En el 78 me compré una Zenit con un objetivo como este y, aunque hice muchas fotos, aquellos rollos de película, quizá por el procesado posterior, parece que no daban ni tanto color ni tanto detalle como vemos hoy en las fotos digitales que tomamos. Tal vez ahora sea diferente. ¿Qué opinas?
Hola, yo casi todas mis imagenes las hago con objetivos antiguos, uno de mis favoritos siendo el Nikkor 35 f/1.4 de 1971. Me gustan mucho más, pues dan imagénes que tienen un "yo no se que" que los lentes modernos fallan completamente en procurar. Este lente en particular no lo he utilizado mucho pero me parece es popular entre los fotografos, lo que he escuchado es que hay un factor suerte con estos lentes, unas copias salen maravillosas y otras insipidas. Un saludo.
@@diyextravaganza muchas gracias por tu respuesta, muy valiosa para mí. Un saludo.
Witch kind of graese do you use fore the djob, do you ave somme advice for this ?
Hello, correction, is SKF LGLT2
The SKF LGMT 2 is not very adapted for lenses, it tends to separate a lot (meaning, separation oil from thickener), leaving a stiff focus and oily diaphragm.
Oops, sorry for the mistake and thanks for the correction.
@@fernando0854 I agree is not easy to retain those letters, even more when references change substantially due to one single character.
