Hi all,
After a bit of research, I picked up a piece of USSR camera history – A Zenit Photosniper outfit. It’s basically a Zenit slr with a Tair 300mm telephoto, a 50mm Helios,a machine-gun type stock and trigger system, various filters and bits and pieces. Very exotic and all bits are built like a tank. :D
I was looking for a telephoto prime lens to experiment with and challenge myself to some”old-school” manual photography again (like my first SLR, a Praktika MTL).
I’ve attached it with an adaptor to my 20D, set it to manual and have taken a few quick test shots today.
So far, I’m very impressed but I would love a few opinions from the rest of you.
Don’t worry about the subject matter, I couldn’t find any wildlife…
