Nicely dug up!
Wow - the spectacular Minolta 50 1.2 was so cheap back then!
Why are the Konica Hexanon 50's so conspicuously missing from the line-up? Were they freebies with the cameras?? Surely the 57mm 1.2 wasn't a kit lens! |

If you consider what you were paid per month in 1978,
was it still cheap? |

the minolta 50/1.2 is cca $530 in todays money - that is less money that you would pay for Nikon AiS 50/1.2 (only MF 50/1.2 lens available new) and MUCH less than modern 50/1.2, because there is only Canon L available
true is that the nikon 50/1.2 was about $400 just few years ago when it was still in manufacture

on the theme...
found these pages in the camera bag from an olympus set I bought a few months ago. Ah think ah recognise the ad style . Amateur Photographer? There used tae be a pull-out ad section in the mag - topically - it may even have been Jessops!. This must be mid-eighties (Minolta X300 came out around '84-'85).
Check out the price on the PRAKTICA outfit...

Selfix ad by pentaxpete, on Flickr
The Ensign Selfix 16/20 model II with 75mm f3.5 Ross Xpres lens was my first 'Good camera' paid off at 5 shillings a week hire purchase!
I got it when I was at East Ham Grammar School and there was a member of the School Photo-Soc with one -- he got very good results-- I think I was sold a 'Friday Night camera' as I struggled to get really sharp results even with camera on tripod or with flash.
many years later I have been given TWO Model I with the 75mm f4.5 ENSAR lenses and they are SHARPER especially at full aperture than the Xpres I had ( SOLD Model II for £ 10-00 to a Camera Club friend) I used the Selfix with flash BULBS but the Epsilon shutter needed a special adapter to fit the standard 3mm co-axial flash plug which is now universal .
