Acquired a photo magazine from March 1960. Scanned some ads. Hope you find them interesting.

Might need your glasses for the small print.

That's really interesting. One calculator figures that a 1960's dollar is equivalent to about $7.50 in todays dollar. It's neat to see how prices would have compared to todays equivalent cameras.

I found it interesting that you could get a "Bronica Automatic" for $169.50 plus your "Hasselblad 500C" at the Wall Street Camera Exchange.
