WTF, is going on with the price of used 35mm equipment? I can not believe
that Nikon F5's, F4's, n90s's etc.. and associated Nikon f2.8 lenses and
accessories are selling for so little. I mean come on I saw an F5 with
MF-28
sell for $725.00!!! And that was after the seller reduced it twice. These
are still current production $1500 - $2000 cameras. Also, f2.8 glass is
many
times half of new price. Makes me wish I had an extra grand laying around.

I think you know the answer; only someone living under a rock doesn't.

However, I will say that used Canon EOS lenses are *NOT* selling anywhere
near half price. The demand for EOS lenses is so high that "out-of-stock"
is common at many etail sites and prices on Ebay are high. Sometimes higher
than the buyer could get the lens for new. Example: I just sold a Canon EF
75-300 USM IS without the box or warranty card for $425 + shipping on Ebay;
you can buy it new from B&H for $399 after rebate.
