The Z-1 (almost the flagship in its day) I have has a price sticker of £350 and it was from roughly 1985. The inflation price checker says today this equates to £830. Not too far away from the K-7 today.
Z-1 was introduced in 1991-2 and it would have been £600-800 new, I paid £580 for my Z-1p in 1995, and I bough a S/H Z-1 in 1998 for £250.

I'm sure the Z1-p was more like £1,000 when I bought mine (from the USA, where it cost rather less) in late 1994.
Modern bodies are better made, more versatile and, of course, cheaper to run!

Maybe G, but as pleasurable to use as our old film bodies
