Chronology of cameras Krasnogorsk
The successive models of Fotosniper (FS for FotoSniper) or PhotoSniper impress with their weapon-like shape and size.
They are composed of a reflex camera body (or reflex chamber), a telephoto lens, a stock, and a trigger system on the stock. However, they lack an automatic recocking mechanism to be ready for wildlife photography... and to be quieter.
The sets are usually delivered in a metal case, which also contains the essential tools for assembly and a set of filters, or in a more conventional bag.
The FS-2, with its wooden stock and reflex chamber, is rare because it was produced in very small numbers at the end of the Second World War. One can imagine that its use was not for leisure purposes.
FS-3 (1965-1982)
The camera body is the Zenit ES. The lens is a Taïr-3AS 4.5/300 mm.
FS-12 (1982-1990)
The lens remains a Taïr-3AS 4.5/300 mm. The camera body changes and can be a Zenit 12 S, a Zenit 12 XPS, a Zenit 12 SD, or a Zenit 12 XP.

The Zenit ES is a special version of the Zenit E with a trigger on the baseplate so it can be mounted on the FS-3 photographic rifle.
