lucien55 Posted September 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Can one of you Lietz buffs tell me more about this bellows kit I purchased as part of an estate sale ? I searched on the internet and I can't seem to find information about a complete "kit" like this. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted September 12, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2008 I'll try to find info in Laney when at home... but probably someone shall beat me on time... anyway, a very fine and complete set for macro/micro... there are 3 Visoflex I viewers, including the one with 30x enlarging (top right, the Viso I itself, of course, is the big component to the right of the bellows set), bellows is complete with front hood, and there are the original double release cables, and other interesting accessories: seems also there is a lens screwed onto the bellows flange... but it's someway difficult to indentify it... seems a f 4,5 lens, which could be a Hektor 13,5 cm lenshead, and this have a sense in such a set (the chrome component in the middle is probably its short focusing mount to use it without the bellows); but there is also the black hood with facility to set the aperture of the Elmar 5 cm (left to the chrome mount above said, from its position, seems it is not part of the set originally included into the case). Wonderful set: very appreciable by specialty collectors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_braconi Posted September 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 12, 2008 Very few things to add to Luigi comments... The helicoidal ramp is for use the Elmar 3.5/50 and where you see the kodak box is the place for a tilt head which is missing. There are different grade of Macrophotography cases. I illustrate here with one with more items, including IC camera and FULDY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucien55 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted September 13, 2008 Thank you gentlemen, very enlightening. The "tilt head" is the item pictured in the lower left of your photo ? Is the best place to find an appreciative buyer on ebay ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted September 13, 2008 Share #7 Posted September 13, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Final note: the case can be this UYOOQ (from 1955-58 Leica catalog), or a variant of it. [ATTACH]103034[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Pic A Day Posted September 16, 2008 Share #8 Posted September 16, 2008 I believe so. go worldwide, invest in good photos and descriptions, start with 1 EUR or $ and it will get you the price it's worth. lots of collectors out there. And please write Leitz and not Lietz if you want people to find you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucien55 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted September 17, 2008 Lietz ! oops ! Sorry for the delay but I'm not getting posting confirmation emails. Certainly if I can't spell Leitz correctly, one doubts if I'm using the forum software correctly too. Thanks again to everyone for your help. Everything is in such beautiful condition - someone will be very happy and I'll be glad it finds a good home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
