From Russia with love (1 Viewer)

Cut a long story short I googled my old Zenit camera, a 12XP. Something I had used once back in the 90s and since either lost or thrown away. It was a tank but did see me well through my walking trips through Europe back in the day. I then came across something that caught my eye. A Zenit Photosniper (Or Fotosnaiper). It just screamed 'boys toys' to me. I had to have one. Its an interesting story if you care to look into it. Anyway a few trawls through ebay and within a week I had one. An FS-3 version to be precise. Its just pure Soviet industrial simplicity. With a quick mock up to use my 70D on it I was all set. Im going to mod it properly as others have done in a bit so watch the 'Andrews DIY' section.

Today James text me for a quick trip to Catcott Lows. I needed no encouragement, I was off............................
