Anyone can recognise these?

Anyone can recognise these? It's rather poorly described so probably it won't go high, but it seems there are 4 lenses, a camera and a simple external flash.

I'm not selling or buying this set (even if it is a bargain, cannot afford anything more this month, unfortunately), but maybe someone else will be interested in?
Kind regards,

The lens on the camera and the one in the background look like Takumars of some description (55/1.8 and 200/4?), the one in the foreground looks like a zoom (and judging by the grip profile I'd say a Sigma), no idea about the one in the middle but I'd wager it's a third party 28 or 35mm.

The lens cap is certainly of Takumar vintage, so it'll probably be a Spotmatic body with a 55 1.8 on the front, as Hefty says. The others I don't know, but again Hefty is probably right. It's nice to see a lens hood.

lens cap is very similar to the one on my 17mm fisheye.

sticker on camera case looks like an Eden Project item?

I thought it'd be worth a little punt to find out so I put in a cheeky £40 and got them for £30.60.

I'll let you know what they actually are when they turn up. Something incredibly rare and valuable I hope (doubt)!

Is Pantex a sort of camera or a new kind of panty hose?

Thanks hefty1, I was the first bidder at £20 I didn't really want them as they are screw mounts and I have enough stuff anyway, hope they are all OK.

My pleasure

I thought someone was bound to outbid me but there was only one other offer after mine and it obviously wasn't enough!

I've got more screw mount stuff than I can possibly use too, but for that sort of money I just can't resist a bargain - even if I end up selling most/all of it on again after I've had a play with it.

Let me know if there are any SMC Taks amongst them...

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I still reckon it's a Super-Tak 55/1.8, a Super-Tak 200/4 and two unknowns (of which the one I originally thought was a Sigma zoom may just be a teleconverter sat on the hood for the 200). Which SMC Taks are you looking for? Something nice to go with your new Jupiter-9?

Now we all here wait impatiently for your delivery. That's a bit unusual - I hope you'll find something really interesting there.

I was tempted to bid but thought better.

Well done Hefty, let us all know what there is and what you're moving on.

I haven't forgotten this, I just haven't had *any* post of any description for over a week now and this is one of many things I'm holding my breath on. I've been in touch with the seller and they've assured me it was posted the next working day so it's obviously got snarled up in a backlog somewhere...
