When I bought my first SLR, there was a lens available for it that cost the same as a small car.

The camera was an Exa, which took all the same lenses etc as the much more expensive Exakta.

The lens was a 1000mm telephoto and I think it cost 835 pounds, which in 1964 was about the same price as a Mini.

As the camera body only cost 19 pound 10 shillings, I thought that was probably overkill.
