When I do the comparison using two different "inflation calculators," it
comes out much lower than that - $2930.42, comparing 1965 to 2002.

   Re the Feb. 1965 price of $345 for the M3 and $180 for the 50/f2
Summicron 
-- or $525 for both -- the price of the same stuff in equivalent dollars

today would be about ten times more, or $5,250, based on the sharp rise
in the 
price of gold. -- bob cole
