•  Question Why no mention of the tripod? It would have been a good idea to clean the camera before the shot. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:07, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Added a description of the tripod. He has no brand --Knopik-som (talk) 10:53, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment The tripod could be a Soviet copy of the classic Leitz Tischstativ or Kleinstativ #14100 which was produced since the 1950s (?) in a very similar form. Especially the simple and clever mechanism for the legs seems identical. I have been told that this was one of the most stable mini-tripods ever made. --Aristeas (talk) 09:11, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment Just for the record: I have found some free photos of the (later form of the) mentioned Leitz or Leica Tischstativ tripod: folded and ready for use. Note the clever folding mechanism. Earlier copies of the Leitz tripod are even more similar to the one visible in your photo of the Zenit 11 camera. --Aristeas (talk) 15:47, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Support This camera is a Soviet-era model, as your description suggests? If so, I like the idea of it not being clean for the shot. This camera is telling us that it's a survivor, that it has every much a right to be posed as if for an advertisement as a brand-new cutting-edge Nikon or Canon straight off the assembly line, polished to perfection.

•  Comment Was produced ~ 1977-1983 years. There is no information about this model in Wikipedia yet. --Knopik-som (talk) 08:41, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Support per Daniel. --Aristeas (talk) 08:10, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
•  Question Just out of curiousiy: One of your other photos of the same camera and lens (?) shows a much shorter distance between the lens and the camera. Are there some extension tubes or similar between the lens and the camera on this photo? --Aristeas (talk) 09:00, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

 Comment In this case, rings will not help. I shoot with a Canon 60D camera. From a distance of 1-1,5 meters. Later: RAW - TIF (110%-120%), Cropping & reduction to 5-8mp. I shot almost all cameras like this cameras. Camera Fotocor filmed on Nikon D70s, it was difficult, this camera has only 6 Mp. --Knopik-som (talk) 22:00, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

 Comment Ah, sorry, my question was not clear. I did not want to ask about how you took this (digital) photo, but whether there are extension tunes mounted on the Zenit 11 camera between the camera body and the Helios 44 M lens. But I have found that there is another photo by you which shows the extension tubes, so my question has already been answered. I was just curious. All the best, --Aristeas (talk) 08:54, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
