      The current rate is 107 Yen to the dollar.  Within the last 2 years it
has been as high as 148.  Plus consider your credit card company may add a
few... so figure 110 yen to the dollar.  I found a great stereo slide bar
that goes out to 514mm that can be used for MF on the page you offered...
however the price was $1,300 plus shipping, so $1400... that seems very high
to me... neat source though...  Does anyone else think the prices are very
high?  Generally when I buy things in Japan, I get them at a much discounted
price compared to products here... although they are more commodity items
like lenses, cameras, etc..  where middle men can really mark things up...
