AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Zenit FS-12 (also known as the Fotosnaiper or Photosniper) is one of the most bizarre and iconic camera outfits in the history of photography. Produced in the Soviet Union by KMZ, this kit literally transforms a standard SLR camera into a photo-rifle.
kit includes:
The Camera Body (Zenit 12S):
A specially modified version of the standard Zenit 12-TTL SLR camera. This body features an extra mechanical linkage on the bottom plate, allowing the shutter to be tripped by the rifle's trigger mechanism.
The Massive Lens (Tair-3S 300mm f/4.5): A heavy, razor-sharp telephoto lens that acts as the "barrel" of the rifle.
The Rifle Assembly: The pistol grip stock (stamped with the Fotosnaiper branding) and the metal shoulder rest.
Helios 44M-4 58mm f/2 Lens:
A very nice lens, beautiful bokeh included so you can use the camera independently without the heavy rifle stock.
Accessories: Dedicated screwdrivers, various colored filters for black-and-white photography, lens hoods, and leather straps.
Everything is as new, on the kitcase some very light paint spatter.
