If not more. Brand Recognition exemplified. They average buyer doesn't know a Rodenstock from a Wollensack but they DO KNOW "Schneider Symmar". Its the Mr. Whipple and Tony the Tiger of large format glass. Either or can be acquired amazingly cheap nowadays I'd also think on EBay and ot large camera stores. I think they pay you money for walking out with it. The price marked is the price they pay you to get it out of the store. Its a Black & Decker drill. Its Cadbury Chocolate. Its Mickey Mouse!!
