Ah, but to turn back time!
I was cleaning out my office today and found this old catalog from the late 60’s – early 70s from Norman’s Camera. Just look at thse prices!!! A Nikon FPhotomic body in Black for $244.97 or a 85mm f 1.8 for $162.97 how about a 600mm f 5.6 with focusing unit for $640. Consider that a 400 f 4 today goes for around $12,000.!!!!!!!
Pretty amazing!
Blessings,

That is an interesting find. I think my chrome FE in 1980 was a bit more than the F Photomic in your catalog. I’m sure my 105mm, f2.5 was more.
I know I won’t have anything as interesting in my files of camera stuff.
Thanks for sharing your find with us.
Just shows how long I’ve been doing this stuff!

And I just ordered something from Norman a couple of weeks ago!
