Seeing as how $0.8915 CDN = $1 AUS that means that 1 big mac CDN = 2.897375 big macs AUS or $1.122 AUS = $1.00 CDN
So.... I bought a GREAT used LX this year for about $700 CDN (give or take a few big macs) or $785.40 AUS which is equal to 241.66 AUS Big Macs I think I got a great deal.. specially considering I like the results of the LX :) Cheers, Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Simon King Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 8:06 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: How many Big Macs to an LX? 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?
