P3D Macro Realist historical price

[Greg Erker <erker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

  A couple of weeks back someone asked
about what Macro Realists sold for new.

  I have a 1978 catalog from Edmonton
photo supply (but it has prices in US$).

 - Macro Realist w/ range finder attachment,
    electronic flash, flash tilter bracket,
    pistol grip, cable release, recharger,
    and padded carrying case.  $539

 - Realist ST42 camera (35mm f2.8 lenses) $299.50

 - Realist viewers: Model 2061 (battery only)  $35
                    Model 2062 (AC & battery)  $45

 - EMDE mounts: Box of 100  $29.95
                w/ AN glass $38.95

 - Deep-Vue Like Life Stereo Viewer  $15.95

 - Duplex Stereo Camera 120  $119.95


And some non-stereo items, but interesting to Pentax
people:

  Pentax 40mm f2.8*  $108.50
         50mm f1.7   $116.67
         50mm f1.4   $199.50
         50mm f1.2   $287.50

* this is the famous pancake lens that sells for
$200-ish on ebay. And it used to be cheaper than
the 50mm f1.7!  What's an old 1.7 worth now? $40 maybe.


  I might scan in the stereo stuff and put it on my
web page for yucks. But you can still check it out for
other interesting stuff :)
