The used prices on film gear is too low to ignore. Often the stuff is never really used by anybody. Selling for a song. This is the case for Leica R glass. Hassy glass. But when these companies some out with a prosumer digital body which sells then all that glass will shoot up again to where it was before. Mark William Rabiner rabinergroup.com
