Instead of betting on the horses this weekend I put my money on a Swedish auction site.
Since I am completely green on this topic, "just" a Leica Q user who would like to dip the toes in the analogue world, your opinions would be appreciated.

It was described as "camera acessories" and the available info was enclosed pictures and also the information that the F50 box was empty.

I landed the lot for 160€ and now have a week of waiting before I can further evaluate if its just a pile of junk or if there is something more interesting lurking under the surface.

I know what triggered my interest and I am rather sure most of you would easily identify what it was. In addition to the "main trigger", I saw(without competence behind) some other interesting things as well... 

How would you evaluate the lot based on the available info, do you see any potential 🙂 ?
To conform with forum regulations, lets skip the financial evaluation, lets just keep it in terms of good/bad find etc. and a discussion on what items there might be in there.

Best Regards
Niklas

PS. Once I receive the package I will share its content in more detail.

Correct me if I am wrong but the brown half case would match the potential content of the box?

I hope so, good luck, sometimes it's worth looking at the clues and taking a risk. But even if the Leica box is empty it may be worth your 160 Euro on its own.

Looks like my IIIg case.

The Nikon enlarger lens and the Sekonic meter are worth having too if the boxes aren't empty.

IIIg case & box - is there a camera lurking in either

what a lucky dip

wonder if there's anything in the smaller circular/cylindrical Leica case - oops don't think it's a Leica case after further inspection

Probably... I had one (> 35 years ago...) and looked the same, for what I remember : was a honest 135 (mine was coated) and, when I bought it for my Zorky, the seller was proud to declare "I had used it also on my Leica".

I am not so knowledged on the manykinds of  leather boxes... is it normal the position of the "Leica" writing ? Isn't it usually on the front of the lens' covering ?

I think usually it is in the middle, but there is an ENOOR case on *Bay at the moment exactly like the one shown and suggesting the case is specifically for a IIIG.

So in the best of worlds there is a IIIG GOOEF with serial number 89027? , ENOOR case and M39 Jupiter 11 so far

I believe it's standard for the ENOOR IIIg case (Peter Loy has three at the moment with 'Leica' in the same position). It's a bit different to previous LTM cases, obviously a bit taller and with a window on the back for the film speed reminder. There is also a snap fastener so you can use it as a half case with the top section removed, at least in those I've seen.

Well.. if they say that the F50 box is empty... could we deduce that all the others are not ? ☺️ If there's a IIIG inside the ENOOR, a lucky find regardless of its conditions... if all is empty - Sekonic meter missing too - possible lens in the black case missing - let's say that you are "au pair" or next to : ENOOR (looks fine) and Jupiter 135 do have a market value...
