Bought this bag on Ebay (sellers picture).

Imported into the UK in the early 80's by Technical & Optical Equipment Ltd.

Note the straight stitching

That's exactly why I bought it Sean

I normally use a cheap ex army £5 off ebay small shoulder rucksack for my cameras for that exact reason.

Very nice lens collection.

Yes,I think the text is slightly out of alignment. At least one thing it's certainly not a Gucci designer bag!

Isn't also the HELIOS text curved?

And here is a set of those Japanese TOE-Helios lenses, look at the font of the text on lens cap, TOE-type...


Best regards,

There's a few of the larger light coloured ones on Ebay UK.

I think quality control was lacking when they stitched mine!

As far as I know, TOE was allowed to add the Helios-badge even to items they bought "outside USSR".
Eg there is several Helios-lenses in M42m which are made in Japan, and badged for TOE.

Best regards,

Same bag here, but the stitching is better. It came with a Zenit 12XP (cyrillic version) bought by a Dutch student living in Russia in the early 90'.
