I'm selling a huge old filing cabinet and found a treasure trove of goodies
from the 70's. From 75-79 I taught for the US Army in Nuremburg, W. Germany
and had PX priviledges...needless to say, i enjoyed it immensely. As my stay
came to a close I was downright rabid, grabbing every little thing I could
afford for my OM setup and my Dad's...
Today i found a packet where I had bound up a bunch receipts, and it's been
interesting to see what i paid "way back when".
here are some examples:
9-77 OM2 black $265.00 body only
11-77 Zuik 75-150 zoom 180.00
2/78 Zuik 24mm f2.8 140.00
9/77 50mm f1.4 77.00
12/77 winder 1 84.00
Oly 310 flash 81.00
the rest were all in '77:
case 13.30
focusing screen 1-13 7.50
Viv polarizer filter 8.80
Soligar polarizer filter 4.70
Viv green filter 3.90

Oly Varimagnifier 54.00
bounce grip 58.80

Viv 75-205 zoom 2-ring 136.50
Oly rubber lens hood 2.48
Viv ext tubes 33.60

Tho they seem so low now, back then (on a schoolteacher's salary....and while
trying to travel to EVERY country and use hundreds of rolls of film <g> ) it
seemed astronomicall
