RE: Pentax price list - but what was the year?

My guess is it could be as early as the late 80's to early 90's, by the look of what is listed.

RE: Pentax price list - but what was the year?
>1898 - 1990? Just my first guess. I'd say that encompasses a pretty reasonable time frame, Bruce. If it did turn out to be 1991 though, that would hurt :-) Cheers Cot Free UK Macintosh Classified Ads at http://www.macads.co.uk/ Oh, swipe me! He paints with light! http://www.macads.co.uk/snaps

Okay, here's a great little game for you while war rages in the background . My SO was (*finally*) sorting out her mess, er room, today, and came across a fairly comprehensive Pentax price list.

You'd think, having moved house 6 times in the last 12 years, I'd have managed to whittle down my paper collection. But no! I still carry around receipts and booklets from buying my MX and 35mm lens in 1981. This morning, the dog woke me up by trying to unearth the bone she buried under the pile of photo envelopes at the foot of the bed. Send it over - do I win it? 1989, that's my best offer. Wendy

Ahh - here's another clue: There was a compliment slip with the price list - it was from Pentax head office in South Harrow. Not a camera shop, but Pentax! Did they sell direct??
