Hi All, This morning while showering I was thinking - as one does - about the cost of Pentax cameras. I was wondering if the price has gone down (in real terms) over the years. That got me thinking about how much an LX cost when it was released as compared to, say, an MZ-S now. I also remembered that one test of the cost of an item is it's value against a Big Mac - as this is a worldwide standard and one that has been relatively stable for several decades. I just checked the price of a Big Mac here in Perth, Western Australia, and was informed by the chirpy McStaffer that they cost AU$3.25. I can buy an MZ-S for about AU$1,650 Ergo; MZ-S = 507.7 Big Macs
So, how many Big Macs did an LX cost in 1980? Does anyone know? Cheers, Simon "would you like fries with that" King - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
