Hi Seth,
Interesting amount. :-) As I remember my big goal when I started in
photography was "as long as I take home a clean $100.00 in my pocket every
week I could live forever on "that much money!" :-)

Oh my goodness how times have changed! :-)

A Rollieflex 3.5 with Tessar was $310, the 21mm Super angulon was $318 and
view finder was $90.! Now that's the kind of prices I like to see. :-)

However, I'm sure glad the "income side has risen slightly".;-)
