Jim aka 'ironringer' asked me for a better photo of the case so, here it is. Also, for general interest, photo of another case, designed for lenses only. Both cases were assembled to be 'historically correct', with all items from the same period. The only exception may be a 6.3/28mm Hektor that sneaked its way into the IIIf case. The intruder has been given a warning and issued a temporary visitor visa.....

 

Cheers,

Here we go:

Hi Jan;

Were you able to identify the second of these two cases, ie the one for lenses only?

I have the same case but haven't been able to find it listed in any catalog so far.

Cheers; Dave
