Pound to Yen Exchange Rate

It is no difficult thing to wonder how our camera equipment prices have got much higher in the UK. At the top right there is now a live chart of the last year of the exchange rate between the GBP and the Yen. (it took me some time to sort out their Windows server not interpreting %26 correctly; but I worked around it!)

Reaching a high of about 250 yen to the pound three years ago, we're now about the 140 yen mark, which is at least up from the crash point of 120 yen last January. The chart below should be live so return to this post to see the live data.


The long story short is that when the pound against the yen goes up, so our camera equipment gets cheaper again. We want it to be at least 200 yen to the pound and for camera shops to then clear the stock that they bought during the expensive period.
