This is the legendary Foto-Sniper
Camera, originally developed for Soviet KGB surveillance operatives. It's
a unique configuration of a 35mm camera with a powerful 300mm telephoto
lens and an ingenious integrated stabilization system. In lieu of needing
to use a cumbersome tripod or other stabilization device, the Foto-Sniper's
camera and telephoto lens are mounted on its special metal alloy
rifle-type stock, which has an integrated trigger-activated shutter
release and focusing mechanism. The stock is held firmly against the
shoulder, the camera is aimed as a rifle or shotgun would be, and the
trigger is pulled to take the photograph. Focusing is achieved by using a
control knob located on the stock. No tripod, no set-up time, no adjusting
for height... Sighting, focusing, and shooting all become natural,
integrated movements. It's an extremely effective, yet simple, way to
track and photograph a moving subject. In addition to surveillance
applications, it's also ideal for photographing sporting events, wildlife
photography, etc. The Foto-Sniper's through-the-lens semi-automatic
exposure meter and LED indicators in the viewfinder provide for optimum
exposure settings, and an instant mirror-return enables continuous viewing
of a subject before and after exposure. using a control knob located on
