how do you like this set? metal suitcase-stowage
stock with trigger, lens and camera lock
long-focus lens TAIR-3S 300mm F4.5,
lens Helios-44 series,
camera "Zenith" with an additional release button in the bottom cover - has the letter "S" in its name.
also a tripod included...

without problems through the adapter can be installed on the Pentax... I do not know if there is any point in this purchase? price
from $ 82.74 and more..
camera gun

Any idea of the brand/model of the shoulder brace? I used something like that fairly frequently back in the mid-70s beginning of the 1980s with my Pentax K2 and ME and a Pentax 400mm 5.6 lens for birds, model aeroplanes in flight etc with reasonable success. Would love to find something like that to try out with the 150-450mm zoom monster. It had a plug for the mechanical shutter cable connection

Well, it looks like something has had a go at one of our resident Swamp Harriers. Probably a fox but maybe a swan.

Not a *great* photo, but just being able to look at it and recognize what it is is something.

The Super Cosina at 500mm, 100% crop, 1/125 second, tripod mounted, ISO 800.

Maybe it had a run in with a drone.

Fortunately that's one thing we don't see in the park. Yet.

Also it seems like the Swamp Harrier population may have increased by two. Meanwhile the number of cygnets and ducklings diminishes.
