So at yesterday's closing exchange rate of 135.60 Yen / USD, that make the
new price of a 35-80 around $US1386. Ouch!! And this is to increase
profits due to reduced consumer demand, the falling Yen and terrible
economic conditions. Small wonder I barely passed Econ101........ Makes
me glad I filled in the gaps in my macro lens collection a few months back.
