Anno di nascita e prezzo dell'Horseman VH-R?

[gianjackal]

Possiedo ed utilizzo una Horseman VH-R e mi è venuta una curiosità: quanto costava al momento dell'uscita del mercato? Il punto è che non so neppure l'anno in questione! Ho fatto qualche ricerca online ma senza risultato. Qualcuno può aiutarmi?

la VH-R dovrebbe essere circa del 1984

"The VH-R cameras I think had a rotating back and revolving viewfinder, otherwise they are the same as the 985, the 970 I think was missing lateral swing on the front standard. They are all very versatile camres with fine Topcon optics. I once had a 58mm f5.6 Grandagon (from Graflex xl) mounted on my 985. Great wide angle and wider than the Super Horseman's wide 65mm f7. For reference, the first Technical camera from Masaji Komamura (President of Komamura Photographic Co.LTD was the 104 in 1959; the 960 was introduced in 1960; in 1963 the 970 was introduced; in 1965 the model 760 (without rangefinder) was introduced; in 1968 the 980 was introduced; and in 1970 the 985 was introduced; the VH-R was intorduced prior to 1984 (not sure of that one) the ER1 came in 1987-88. Calumet Photographic was the only dealer I could find in the 70's and 80's that carried Horseman."
