Some data points for equipment price history
I've started posting some images of ad pages from old (1967-1986 so far)
Popular Photography and Modern Photography magazines. Since I'm using library copies of the magazines that are bound, I can't flatten the pages out, so they're not clean perfect scans, but they're legible. The collection isn't very dense yet, but I've already found it useful. It lives at http://dd-b.net/photography/PriceHistory/. I've also written a blog post introducing it at http://dd-b.net/ddbcms/2012/01/photo-gear-price-history/. -- David Dyer-Bennet, ; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info |

The 1986 links particularly fascinated me because that's around the time I switched to Nikon. Your blog ends with the question "Is it a bad sign when I find I'm nostalgic about old advertisements?" Not at all - the advertisements remind me of the agonising decisions I had to make. E.g. I wanted a Nikon FA, but all I could afford at the time was an F-301 (N2000). A decade later, I managed to get a second-hand FA. |
