In the late 1980s, #KMZ began incorporating the #Pentax K Mount on their #Zenit cameras. K mount was developed by Pentax and introduced in 1975. KMZ, among other types, released #Helios style lenses with the K bayonet.

A week ago, I found a Helios 44K-4 MC for a bargain. Here it is sitting next to its M42 brother.

I might do some comparison shots in the future. I don’t expect too much difference in bokeh, but there might be in color and glare due to coating.
