I brought a 10.5mm TV plossl in the late 1980s at Bintel for $159: I see that an 11mm plossl can now be purchased there for $159.
Now I can understand why my hand shook as I handed over the money!
How things have changed. Back then, I was deep in debt paying off my house at 12.5% interest; now I am comfortable in retirement.
All's well that ends well.
