The Cyclop 1 H3T-1 nightvision with the 1.5/85mm Helios lens is a very interesting piece of kit. The lens of the Cyclop 1 H3T-1 nightvision is detachable. The nightvision lens generally has a M42 mount so it can be adapted for most cameras. The interesting thing about this lens is that it is based on the Helios 1.5 85, which in turn is based on the Carl Zeiss Biotar 1.5 75.

If there’s one lens to be called the ultimate Soviet legend it would be the HELIOS-40 1.5/85. It’s swirly bokeh inspired many into trying the vintage glass, and really, what this lens can do in the right conditions, blows everything else out of the water – vintage or modern.
