Please has anyone seen this camera before ever? I've got a few people emailing me asking about its origins... very curious to know.

Aidas, if you talk to Viktor, any way you can show this to him?

Thanks!
Vlad

unfortunately never seen, but read somewhere (magazine) (stands in my archive).
photo trade Photokina 1998 (Cologne, Germany)
a fotosniper 122k stand by kmz (exhibition) at this show.
it had repeatedly Russian cameras at Photokina.
maybe someone was there? (from forum)?

regards
mike

Actually now that I see these side by side, it looks like the first photo has the stock folded in, so it may be the same one.. but this second one has an open trigger, and second picture is just a drawing so it's possible it's the same unit... I think I just solved my own mystery. [:D] The drawing is taken from zenitcamera.com. (http://www.zenitcamera.com/archive/fs/index.html)
