My late father was interested in photography as a hobby. We learned darkroom processes together. AFAIK, he had a Kodak folding Hawk-Eye, a Voigtlander Avus, a Practica and later on a Konica and an Omega.
Now that my mother has passed away, I've been rummaging through the papers. I came across a 1980 insurance claim which lists a Konica Auto S3 Hexanon f 1.8 - $150, Rollei 35mm with f 3.5 Zeiss Tessar - $170 and Leica M3 for $1814.
The Leica is further itemized, $550 Leica M3 S3, chrome $225, Leitz 50mm Summricron f2 $295 35 mm Leitz Summricron f2 $345 90mm elmarit f 2.8 $299 135mm Hekton 4.5 $100 case for M3 camera
$1,814 TOTAL.
Way to go, dad!
Not that it matters, but what would this equipment go for today?

Hi Dan,
Value greatly depends on the state of the items. Let's say the stuff in is in good working condition without too much wear. M3 $800-$1200 50mm Depends on the model $400-$600 35mm Depends on the model $400-$600 90mm Depends on the model $259-$400 Hektor $150-$200 Case $50
