Takumar and the weekly wage

What cost US$1.00 in 1976 now costs US$4.03. So if that lens cost $100 then, it'd cost $403 now, all else being equal. If you can find the original cost of that lens and the year in which it was sold, there are several Internet sites that can give you the inflationary rate.
