I bought a Zenit-E to get the Helios-44 lens which was with it. This is the original lens that the Soviets copied from the Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2.
It's a pre-set lens and takes a bit of getting used to. Received wisdom is to shoot it wide open at f/2 for the distinctive bokeh, but the contrast suffers when you do this.
At f/5.6 it becomes a nicer lens to use.
The Helios-44 was on a Fujifilm X-E1 camera set at 3200 ISO and 1/160th shutter. The lens was set at f/5.6.
