Hi there, I've been offered two suitcases of old camera's and light meters to buy, most of them (3 in particular) are from the 50s, I have no idea what they may be worth.

Here are the vitals for the 3 better cameras.

1 X Voightlander Vitomatic II (Body)
1 X Color-skopar 1:2.8/50mm Prontor SLK (Lens)

1 X Braun Paxette Super II B L (Body)
1 X Prontor SVS 1:3.5/35mm (Lens)
1 X Staeble Telexon 1:3.8/135 (Lens)

1 x Showa Optical Works - Leotax No 12970

If anyone has any idea if they are worth buying let me know, the are deffinatly nice to look at and in rather good condition and I will most likely buy them but I don't wan't to insult the seller if they are more valuable than I suspect


Thanks, Jason

I've spent the morning searching the internet for info on these cameras, it appears the Leotax may be worth a several hundred, here is an example http://www.ebay.com …meras&hash=item​3cc1529e9a (external link) asking price $800
