NERICSSON Posted January 31, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Hi NERICSSON, Take a look here Pile of junk or is there something more interesting lurking under the surface. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LocalHero1953 Posted January 31, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Is the box bottom right empty as well???? Others may recognise the unboxed lens. Edited January 31, 2022 by LocalHero1953 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I am wrong but the brown half case would match the potential content of the box? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrogallol Posted January 31, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 31, 2022 Look forward to seeing the contents, especially if the 111g is in the leather case. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like my IIIg case. The Nikon enlarger lens and the Sekonic meter are worth having too if the boxes aren't empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romualdo Posted February 1, 2022 Share #11 Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited February 1, 2022 by romualdo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the best of worlds there is a IIIG GOOEF with serial number 89027? , ENOOR case and M39 Jupiter 11 so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it usually on the front of the lens' covering ? 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.

luigi bertolotti Posted February 1, 2022 Share #20 Posted February 1, 2022 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... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
