Helios 44-2 (58mm f2 manual aperture prime), works perfectly and optically better than my canon nifty fifty was IMHO. Only issues are there is some oil on the aperture blades but they are otherwise clean, light and smooth in operation, and the focusing ring has a small amount of slop, but it is VERY slight, just not as tight as the oly or my pentax stuff.

Very nice cheap lens though.

I'm asking £15 for the Helios, this includes the attached Canon EOS adapters but not postage. I can knock a couple of quid off if you don't want the EOS adapter (some of you might have gone to the digital dark side and it works great on my Canon 20D.

EDIT: Just to confirm this works fine on my spotmatic F there is not much clearance from mirror to the rear element at infinity focus but there is enough.
