Do you recognize something worthy on this picture



because I don't. Crappy quality.

Some big guns on the rear row, for sure a big gun in that case. Any idea?

I don't reconize the case, but the lens shape looks like a Sun made lens.

Back row 4th from the left. That looks like a 1960's Minolta hood. So I'm guessing 1960's preset lens, but can't tell which one.

There's a Tamron Adaptall-2 lens in the back row.

Second from the left?

Yes

The lettering on the Tamron matches both 70-210 03A or 103A, nice lenses but not valuable.

Thanks.
I thought it might be a 60-300 or 300/5.6
Maybe I'll pay them a visit. It's a 100 km drive both ways.

First lens to the left in the second row looks like an Olympus prime. A 50/1.8 if I had to guess.

Second from the right in the front row looks somewhat like a Tamron AF lens.

2nd lens from the right in the third row has a Nikon meter coupling shoe, looks like.

ALso looks like there's quite a few teleconverters mixed in with everything.

What about the lens in the case with the yellow lining all the way to the right? Looks like a big two-ring zoom. Maybe a Nikon?

3rd raw, leftmost lens is a Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter, a very neat thing that turns any lens into a close-focus (and turns a conventional 50mm lens into a 1:1 macro). It has a built-in focusing helicoid and a 7-element construction - quite a nice TC by itself. Depending on the mount, it can be worth $25 (MD, FD) to $40 (Olympus OM) to $60 (Nikon, Pentax K).

1st raw, 3rd from the right, is a 50mm Yashica ML lens, either f/2 or f/1.9. Quite good by itself, it's worth some $15.

2nd raw, leftmost lens is an Olympus OM Zuikolens (probably a 50/1.8 or 28/2.Cool with a 49mm skylight filter attached. I'd say it's worth some $40.

Last raw, 2nd lens is a Tamron Adaptall zoom that's probably worth something.

1st raw rightmost lens can be a Yashinon/Yashica DS/DX lens (probably a 50mm) that's worth some $10.

3rd raw, 2nd from the right is a Nikkor lens (not a third-party but an actual Nikkor). It's either Ai or factory Ai'd lens, compatible with modern bodies. Depending on what lens it is, it's worth something - but all manual focus Nikon primes are at least very good, and some are excellent.

There's an old Sigma in the middle Laughing

Intruiged by the lens behind the Vivitar (3rd from right, 2nd row), could it be a Contax 50/1.7? The Vivitar itself could be something useful too, I've seen the 19/3.8 looking like that.

If the far right, front row isn't a Yashica, it might be a Pentacon 50/1.8.

Thank you guys! Appreciate the effort!
I didn`t ask for a list because I suspect to be a small store, one of the those that I possibly met at the photo fairs. Usually their prices are bigger than ebay.
