Subject: [Leica] The cost of Leica in 1974

Hi all,

I was rooting through the microscope room this morning, and I came across a
box and receipt for a TELE-ELMARIT 90 f2.8 dated 28 Nov/74 from the now
defunct Toronto Camera Centre.  It cost $219 cdn.   Don Chatterton is now
selling the same lens for $695 usd (~1050 cdn). Interestingly the same
receipt lists the purchase of a Kodak Carousel 860 slide projector at $226.
