The Zenit Photosniper was manufactured by KMZ in the USSR. It is a 35mm SLR, various Zenit models, on a rifle-like prop designed to facilitate long focal length photography. Developed the Photosniper for the military to take photos on the battlefield. The 35mm camera is triggered with a rifle trigger.

Films for the Zenit Photosniper
The Zenit Photosniper exposes 35mm film, other film formats cannot be used. 35mm films are still manufactured today and are quite easy to get. Possible films for this particular camera are the Kodak Gold 200* and the AgfaPhoto APX 100*.
The development of the color film is the C-41 process. The C-41 film is offered by most photo labs. Mostly, directly with the development of the film, they also offer to make photographic prints of the images.
The B/W film must be developed in black and white chemistry. Most professional photo labs offer black and white film development and have a wide range of developers available to suit different types of film. Some labs also offer specialty developers that can achieve specific effects.
However, if you want to have complete control over the process, you can do the development yourself. To do this, it is necessary to buy the necessary chemistry and supplies online and acquire the skills needed to carry out the process. However, self-development facilities can take some space and usually require some practical experience to achieve good results.
