Don't let that bother you.  Remember that a candy bar cost 5 cents and now
costs 50 cents, a tenfold increase since 1963.  So, if a Summicron hood cost
$15 then it should cost $150 now...but they don't, they're less and,
actually, quite a bargain at that - so are all those other things behind the
lenshood we love so much.
