- Description
- Long and thin silver metal travel case with 2.5 rubber feet on the bottom [one is completely missing, one only partially], two metal clasps holding the hinged lid closed, and a black hard plastic handle on the lid. Several long strips of adhesive tape - mostly silver duct tape - throughout the exterior, often obscuring paper labels and something written on the front in marker. The interior of the case is lined with pieces of yellow foam that have been glued in place. Housed inside the case is a black metal 300mm Century Precision Optics Tele-Athenar lens - these lenses were specifically designed for profession motion picture, video, and still photography and was most likely used by Eddie Hunter on Head Hunter Films projects.
