philipus Posted February 4, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone What is this case called? I've seen similar ones called "outfit" cases but they have had different interiors. Were these custom-made to fit certain outfits/sets of equipment? Cheers and thanks in advance Philip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted February 4, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2012 I think these are listed/illustrated in the second edition of Dennis Laney's "Leica Collectors Guide" ... but they are not shown in the first edition. Best wishes dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9reno Posted February 4, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 4, 2012 ETGUS? (So from the Leica Wiki, though I recall there was an earlier forum discussion in which a mistake was suspected). I bought one last year, but had to return it. It was in poor condition (and also would not fit the taller IIIg). All best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were these custom-made to fit certain outfits/sets of equipment? Cheers and thanks in advance Philip I confirm that the illustrated case is an ETGUS for Leica (II to IIIb), 5 lenses, VIDOM, frame finder, filters, cassettes. The slightly higher Leica IIIg and outfit could be arranged in the much rarer EBKOO dating from 1958. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks very much for your replies, I appreciate your help a lot. I looked in the Wiki but the ETGUS there has an second lens strap in the middle. The filter pockets on the left side are also different The top-right-hand corner pocket for the FIKUS is also different. The Wiki's ETGUS has a double filter pocket there whereas my case has a longer pocket, similar to (though shorter than) the SOOPD pocket. Could these cases be changed after purchase by Leica? Here is a better image perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
