Hi!
Let's talk about old photocamera

2
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:08.199
If nowadays someone wants to take a picture

3
01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:11.360
person takes smartphone from pocket and shoots

4
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:17.199
without having knowledge about photography

5
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:19.400
in old times it was different

6
01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:22.000
not everyone had a camera

7
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.639
and you had to know what to do

8
01:00:26.960 --> 01:00:31.760
today we talk about camera called "zenit 12s"

9
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:34.440
"Zenit" is probably familiar name for many people

10
01:00:34.679 --> 01:00:37.280
our fathers or grandfathers had one

11
01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:40.480
in most cases we know model "Zenit E"

12
01:00:41.039 --> 01:00:46.039
what I have here is "Zenit 12s"

13
01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:51.159
"S" makes it quite special, because it means photo- sniper

14
01:00:51.880 --> 01:00:56.920
sniper means - your target can be very far

15
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:07.119
how it works ...

16
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:09.159
there was no zoom

17
01:01:09.480 --> 01:01:12.480
but in this fancy metal box

18
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:19.880
you had eyecatching tele-lens

19
01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:23.679
with 300mm focal length

20
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:27.840
which gives you scale up by 10 times

21
01:01:29.519 --> 01:01:33.360
to attach these lenses to camera

22
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:39.440
first you had to unscrew normal lenses

23
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:53.519
and then screw on your tele-lenses

24
01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:00.199
carefully, not harming the screw

25
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:04.960
finally attach cable for light-meter

26
01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:20.679
this camera was heavy, it was bad and good

27
01:02:20.679 --> 01:02:25.599
your hands got tired and shaky

28
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:30.280
at the same time weight gave some stability

29
01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:36.159
some kind of stabilizer was still needed

30
01:02:36.159 --> 01:02:39.159
cameras had no real stabilizer on that time

31
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:46.119
but this set had special add-on to make it look like gun

32
01:02:54.519 --> 01:02:59.199
special component was attached to lenses

33
01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:07.920
to maximaize the stability

34
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:10.920
a riffle butt was attached

35
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:17.960
and you got your photo sniper camera

36
01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:23.280
wind it up

37
01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:28.280
thats how it was

38
01:03:28.440 --> 01:03:33.079
if you got close enough to animal

39
01:03:33.639 --> 01:03:35.639
got a photo
