This OMNICA case was created in 1972 and was made in Germany specially for TOE. No one more sold such cases. I was there when they received the corrected second lot of cases. These could now receive both MIR1 and Jupiter 11A (Black) (Same size of Jupiter 37) or Japanese 35 or 28 and 135mm Helios lenses. At this time they were negotiating OPEMUS enlargers from Checoslovakia renamed as Helios.

Are TOE ever sold this as a set?
Or TOE was selling only empty cases?
And if TOE was actually run by Russians, why they order cases from Germany?(it's more a rhetoric question:)

Propably same reason as the japanese lenses: USSR did not make what UK-customers wanted. Very simple.
