I think less demand lead to higher prices, which lead to even less
demand, etc. which is opposite to the way economics is supposed to
work. Now, I don't know squat about econ, but increases in demand I
think are supposed to raise prices, and a loss of demand is supposed to
lower prices.
>Of course Olympus' startling price hikes a few years ago didn't help
any.
As I recall, OM lenses at least are in line with the manual focus Nikon
lenses, or at least in the same ball park.
Nikon 24/2.0 MF - 799$
Olympus 24/2.0 - 719$
Nikon 28/2.0 MF - 699$
Olympus 28/2.0 - 719$
Nikon 50/1.2 MF - 549$
Olympus 50/1.2 - 439$
Not much difference at least with these lenses.
All prices from B&H.
Be seeing you.
