Russian camera maker Zenit has produced the most homoerotic camera accessory of all time, a “tough-guy rifle mount” packaged with a Zenit 122 SLR camera and monstrous telephoto lens.
Similar to a real sniper rifle, they say, except that it “shoots brilliant, contrasty pictures rather than bullets.” The jokes write themselves.
It even has one of those assault-rifle style stocks to help you absorb the recoil action that comes slamming down into your shoulder when you release the shutter. All 0.0001 pounds per square mile are adequately dispersed.
In all seriousness, it appears to be designed to help steady shots taken at great range without the use of an unwieldy tripod. Alas, too late to win the Cold War.
