- the maker of the striped lenses.

Two bottom lenses look like they are Sankor made.

Thanks Walter, you must be correct as nobody stepped in to say otherwise.

The one a between the striped lenses is a 300/5.5, very likely also a Sankor, but its an auto lens, not preset.
I have it in YS interchangable mount.

The two at the bottom certainly are the 135/2.8 and 200/4.5 preset Sankors.

The long lens is almost certainly a 400/6.3, very similar to the Spiratone "Sharpshooter" or "Pluracoat", but its an interesting and unusual version, probably very early. The most interesting item in the case, at least as far as I can tell.

I would really like a better look at it.

There might well be a gem among the others but there is too little detail to spot.

The one in front of the 200/4.5 Sankor is very likely a Tokina-made 28/3 preset.

There is an odd device - the tube at the far right with a slotted cover. I can't figure out what that is.

Thanks Luisa, I have given the fellow a link to this thread who made the original inquiry on another forum.
