It's an old film mount, mainly used for pentax i believe. But you can buy an adapter for most modern cameras. It doesn't contain another glass element so you don't lose picture quality.

Helios m42 50mm f1.8 is the most popular and cheeper version from the family. 135mm helios is awesome! Just don't get to excited some of these glasses can damage mirror in some todays cameras so before you buy some more i strongly advice to go and check few post in this forum : http://www.mflenses.com everything what i need to know before purchasing my first mf lense know from there...
