I was wondering if anyone knew what the retail price of the Canon T70 was when it first hit the shelves. Thank you.

April 1984 Original Price:

104,000 yen (w/FD 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5)

69,000 yen (body)

You did want that in Yen, right? I have no idea what that is in Lire, Afghanis, Scheckles or any other currency, adjusted for Japanese inflation. This info is via the Canon Camera Museum at:
