Hi! First, of course there is a serious problem of cross spelling between any two languages that are not sibling, say like Ukranian and Russian.
Second, you're of course right Paul. You see, the very lens I have features Latin (or should I say English :) ) info printed around the front element. Naturally it is spelled *H*elios. I wonder how come this guy sells Helios lens*es* and he never came across one that has its info written in English. --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625 ===8<==============Original message text=============== Boris Liberman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: He took old Helios 44K-4 lens (58mm f/2) and took out all but front element. Funny you should mention the Helios, Boris. Just last week, I wrote to the Russian who sells "Gelios" lenses on U.S. Ebay. I informed him that Westerners spell--and pronounce--that brand with an "H". I directed him to a Google search for "Gelios 44" and "Helios 44" to prove it. I told him he'd get more sales if people searched for "Helios." He thanked me and said he would begin to spell it "Helios." (I don't care how he pronounces it.) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===8<===========End of original message text===========
