kennekam Posted February 2, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I received a case similar to this when I bought a IIIf. It is taller than the standard bag, but the lens space is very small, a collapsible Summarit 50 does not fit. Perhaps an Elmar might. The case fits my IIIf, but has a lot of space on top. The VIOOH does not fit, though. Does anyone know what this case is for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bag for Standard (or Ic/If with HFOOK (horizontal FOKOS) rangefinder and Elmar 3.5/50 collapsed or 3.5/35 or 6.3/28 lens ps : there is no collapsible Summarit 50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted February 2, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 2, 2009 Being so elongated on top, I think it's one of the cases for Leica Screw Mount without incorporated rangefinder and with the external rangefinder (the most common was coded FOKOS) mounted on the accessory shoe. I think to have some illustration of this kind of case, in some old catalog of mine... I'll check... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennekam Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted February 2, 2009 Many thanks for the quick response, JC. I meant Summitar, not Summarit...... Any idea what this case could be worth? Mine has never been used and is in as new condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted February 2, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 2, 2009 Not the only instance in which me and friend JC have acted simultaneously... ... oh well, that's a 1955 catalog page... very similar (not the same) made for Leica Ig... the model depicted by the poster should be the ESOOG [ATTACH]125494[/ATTACH] I think they are a bit rare but not too much, nor of great value... I suppose 70 to 120 or so Euro, if good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted February 2, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 2, 2009 I would keep it in case you decide to add an indivdual viewfinder (SBLOO or SBOOI etc.) for you IIIf. They fit perfectly. Though i agree that it's a nuisance you can only use small lenses in it. Typical Leitz: different viewfinders, different hoods, different NOOKYS, different cases for each lense. I ruined my case for the II when i tried to close it with a collapsed Summar: the front part ripped off. So now i have an original Leitz half-case. The code-word for it was LUIGI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
