Classic Photo Sniper case with Zenit 35mm body, 300mm f4.5 TAIR 3-PhS lens, and 58mm f2 Helios lens. Please not that the bracket on the lens where the stock would screw into is missing, so if you want to shoot with this with the Zenit body and stock, you’ll have to find one or fabricate something. Zenit body seems to work fine, though I haven’t shot film through it. 300mm lens is nice, works well and I think produces beautiful photos. The Helios lens also works well (the focus ring is a little loose, but the other ones I have are like this so maybe it’s just a build issue) and again, produces really nice images. These are both M42 mount. The pictures included were all shot handheld on my R6 Mii, jpeg and straight out of camera.
