"According to Princelle, the FS-12 appeared in 1982 and was produced until 1990 in a total quantity of approx. 110.000, but KMZ information indicates that FS-12's were produced until 1995. The FS-12 was essentially an FS-3 (Soviet thinking: why change a winning team?), but fitted with the new Zenit 12S reflex body and a new Helios-44M-4, 5 or 6.
There is some confusion about what exactly is an FS-12, because several camera/lens combinations share that same name. The most logical assumption is that it's a photo sniper set with a Zenit-12S body, but it's not that simple. According to KMZ information, these sub-types can be distinguished:
FS 12-1 : The original FS-12 with ZENIT-12s (sniper modification of ZENIT-TTL body)
FS 12-2 : FS-12 with ZENIT-12sds body (12sd)
FS 12-3 : FS-12 with ZENIT-12xps body (12xp), but 12xp is equal to 12sd: it was its export variant."
