Pentax ME 1977

Scanned this from Modern Photography magazine, April 1977.
Take a look at the prices. Using the inflation index an ME with the 1.7 lense would today be $1532.12. So you still think K20 is expensive?

Cheers

Everyone knows that prices of electronics or dropping fast and prices of bread raising sky high. Nothing new, but maybe someone else can say more?

I would love to know what they were writing about the ME though...

Marc:

They had a very extensive test review. It is 5 pages , 4 columns of small print.
Pretty much on the + side.
If there is enough interest I could scan and post it.
