Leica LTM Oh my...don't look.

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
In a world in whch ebay dealers are asking £150 for a FISON and £250 for a NOOKY-HESUM nothing would surprise me (apart from someone actually paying those prices!).
 
Spend six or seven hundred on a IIIf and Elmar 3.5 and put it in your pocket, if you need a case get a grocery bag and carry it in that. . Every thing else in that package is just luxury items

Well, in all fairness, a IIIf and a 3.5 Elmar are luxury items too...
 
That's a really pretty set, but it's not knocking me over like some things I've seen. It would be super cool to see the original invoices....
 
From my point of view the rest are mostly a pile of useless gadgets that most photographers looking for the Barnack experience can do without.

Yes, but I understand that it's the stuff of dreams for the Barnack collector. I fall somewhere in between. The whole collection is somewhat greater than the sum of the parts.

I look at the main meat of the kit and I do not see anything that is super juicy or rare or exotic, I guess I been to too many old camera shows in the past.
 
Hm,

Must be because of having a look while on the iPhone, but to me it seems a hardly used, well-preserved kit with nothing special but a nice kit none the less.
I find it shows a great deal of love for those pieces that somebody collected everything they wanted to have, had a case made for it (not cheap I'm sure) and saved all 24 invoices.

Shouldn't be dismissed so easily, IMHO.

Thanks for the link, Dave!
