Pricing

When looking at pricing levels, it should be kept in mind that many photogs later began
instituting different quality levels so as to induce more trade.
As well, some merely had one level; poor quality and cheap pricing.
The PAC later attempted to bring in uniform pricing amongst it's members to maintain a higher level of quality (and force out non-members).

An additional consideration for photogs, perhaps the prime one for some, was the cost of materials.
We now have a section to show manufacturer's & wholesale pricing. See: Photographer's Costs
