    Guess they truly are the only ones that don't think their prices are already too high

    Anyone have any old catalogs, or just recall prices for sheet films they paid in say, 1980s-90s? I'm curious to see prices now & then vs inflation.

    I have an Shutterbug magazine from Dec 2000 (not that old!) and 50 sheet boxes of 8x10 Tri-X were $109. Fifty sheets of TMY were $116--today they're $385. A 25 sheet box of 11x14 FP4+ was only $99.

    Someone on, I think, APUG said they found a 100-ft roll of 35mm Tri X with a sticker of $17.xx

    That was me. It expired in 1982, so it's over 30 years old. For reference, about 5 years ago, you could get the same thing for $45-50. Now it's $65.

    I would ask anyone on this board if they would like to go back to what they were earning 10-15 years ago?
