Dear BOB,
One could argue that you should add your film & processing costs to truly
compare the price of an H3D and an film camera - however, it seems that the
consumer stuff (point & shoots and cheaper SLRs) is getting close to the price
of their film equivalents...
How much did you spend per day on film & processing back in the days??
Rémi.

DEAR JUSTIN,
When I had my ad photography studio in NYC (1973-1993) it worked out
that one day's ($2,500 US) pay bought one major piece of 'Blad equipment.
Less expensive lenses and accessories were obviously a smaller portion.
Soooooooooooooo, if I got a week long assignment that would be better
produced with a new Blad goodie, it made sense. In 1980 got my ELM (which
is still working beautifully) for one day's pay (though that day may have
been closer to $3,000)...I don't remember exactly.
Back then there were photogs who got MUCH more per day than I.
Today, I have heard that the going day rates in NYC and London (3,000 and
5,000 pounds sterling) are between $3,000 (low end) and $8,000 to $10,000
and up (high). Am I right that digital 'Blad bodies cost around $35,000 US?
I don't think there are too many photogs who make $35,000 US per day.
In conclusion I feel that the equipment prices have risen much
faster than the income rates.
CHEERS!
BOB

Hi,
Reading about Hasselblad's financial woes and looking at their product
line, back in the day were the 500 series cameras considered as expensive as
the H series line is now ?
