"Here's a much more recent example of LF price increases. The Sinar F1 was $1850 two years ago at B&H. It's now $2311. That's a 25% increase ($461) in two years."
Want a better example?
Look in the B&H catalog (the big one, not the monthly one and not the web page) and check the 1999 price for the Linhof Kardan M 4x5 full featured monorail camera. It was, I believe, $1995.00.
Now check any dealer for the price of the Linhof Kardan M camera which is the same camera as the E except renamed for the Millennium.
The current price is $1170.00!
If you are a student in a photo school the price through your local dealer is $895.00
