In 1999, Dealer net for a 4T was $1200, 3Ti was $1500, and this was Japanese
warehoused inventory, not new production.
Then there was the day when all the lens prices were jacked up, anywhere
from 25 to 100%, also on warehoused new 'old' production.
90mm f2 jumped to $1000 net
In 1985, OM-4 and OM-3 Black body net was $389 each.
40mm f2 dealer net was $85
