IronGlass Red P Helios-44 58mm T2.1

Summary

The RED P series is a rare and highly sought-after collection of Soviet lenses produced in the 1950s and 1960s. Known for their outstanding optical performance and unique visual character, these lenses have been treasured by photographers, and now cinematographers can experience their visual style, too.

Each lens in the RED P series features the distinctive bokeh and soft focus fall-off that Soviet lenses are famous for while also offering much warmer tones and more vibrant flares when compared to their later, mass-produced counterparts. Their RED P coating sets them apart with a distinctive combination of blue, teal, and purple flares paired with a warmth that beautifully complements skin tones.

This combination creates an unmatched visual aesthetic that is perfect for any project requiring a vintage, yet distinctive look. It’s unlike anything else out there!
