The main conponents of the Zenit FS-5 Fotosniper outfit consist of a Zenit Automat camera and MC Telezenitar-K lens. This fairly uncommon lens has a maximum aperture of f 1:4.5 and a focal length of 300 mm. It has a Pentax-type 'K' mount. On the underside of the lens barrel is a hand grip which can be folded up when not required. The grip can also be rotated through 90 degrees so that upright or portrait format photographs can be taken more easily. The FS-5 is supplied in a rigid case which has the FS-5 designation on the back (hinged side), and a padded area on the front. This padded area is concave and lays next to your body when carrying in on your shoulder. In keeping with other Fotosniper outfits, this also includes a Helios-44K-4 f 1:2.0 58 mm lens, a set of three filters, lens hood, stock and wrist-strap.
