Quick take
Vintage photography shopping is a different kind of hunt. You are not comparing sealed retail boxes; you are comparing a used leather bag, a complete camera-and-lens set, a lens-less SLR body, and a mixed case of old accessories. The first decision is whether you want a carry piece, a camera to use, fix, or display, or a discovery box-then price brings the options into focus.
For the shopper who wants the most complete vintage setup without adding a separate lens, the Kodak Retina IIIc with Schneider F2.0/50mm lens and leather case is the clear pick. For a project-minded buyer who wants a classic Canon body, the AE-1 is the one-but it needs a lens and comes with an untested label. If you simply need a camera bag, the Leica case offers used leather character. And if you want to dig through old photography odds and ends, the Kodak-branded accessory case is the lowest-priced way into the category.

Product notes
Vintage Leica Leather System Case Stone Gray 18761
The reason to consider this bag is the Leica name paired with an actual carry/shoulder-bag shape. The title calls out Stone Gray and a distressed patina, so you are getting a visibly used piece rather than a pristine display item. The description goes further: the leather is stretched where it connects to the strap on both sides, there is a crease in the middle, and a divider is missing. That makes it a bag for someone who likes character and can work around an incomplete interior. In this group it is the only bag, so if your need is carrying gear rather than collecting a camera, this is the one to start with.
Kodak Retina IIIc Camera Schneider F2.0/50mm lens & leather case
If you want a complete camera-and-lens package, this is the only one of the four. The Kodak Retina IIIc is paired with a Schneider F2.0/50mm lens and comes with a leather case, and the country of origin is Germany. That combination is a strong reason for a collector or vintage-photo enthusiast to pay the highest listed price in this set. The description spends more words on shipping, questions, and returns than on a condition walkthrough, so the exact working state is something you evaluate from the photos. It is the choice when you want one unified kit instead of matching parts yourself.
Vintage Canon AE-1 Film Camera 35mm NO LENS UNTESTED BUT IN GREAT SHAPE
The Canon AE-1 is a 35mm SLR body with manual focus, a silver finish, and no lens in the box. The title is direct: untested, but in great shape. The description repeats that it is untested and sold as-is for parts, repair, or collection, so this is not a buy-it-and-shoot-it camera. Choose it if you want the classic body, a repair challenge, or a display piece. If you need to load film and take photos immediately, you would be adding a lens and accepting an untested body. The listed price falls in the middle of this four-item set, which keeps it an approachable project pick.
Vintage case filled with vintage Photography accessories / equipment Kodak Scotc
This is the lowest-priced way into this vintage photography set. The product title mentions a vintage case filled with photography accessories/equipment, with Kodak in the name, and the description suggests the items came from a photographer and videographer's collection. The contents are not individually cataloged, so you are paying for the experience of opening and sorting rather than for a specific accessory. That makes it a good pick for someone who wants a low-cost project box; it is less suitable for a buyer who needs a particular filter, adapter, or gadget. The case itself can be part of the appeal, but the exact contents stay a surprise.
Final recommendation by use case
- Complete classic kit: Kodak Retina IIIc with Schneider F2.0/50mm lens and leather case, at USD 129.99.
- Canon body to collect, repair, or display: Vintage Canon AE-1, at USD 49.99, with the untested/no-lens limits in mind.
- Leather carry bag: Leica Leather System Case, at USD 49.99, if the stretched strap points and missing divider are acceptable.
- Low-cost discovery box: Kodak-filled vintage accessory case, at USD 17.99, if you like surprises.
