Funny you mention those PX privileges: my first "extra-non-standard" Zuiko
were bought also in a PX...I was finishing my military service and as a
Belgian soldier in Germany I had access to the PX of Wiesbaden...
it was in April 75 and the prices were "similar":
Zuiko 24mm f2.8             133.30
Zuiko macro 50mm f3.5   133.75
Zuiko 200mm f4               122.30
Bellows Auto                    82.30
Varimagni finder                49.35

far away of some eBay "case" of today..!
