Yes, all the price histories are quickly being outdated as the manual focus and
film camera markets continue their slide. The best one can do now is to check
Ebay for a couple of weeks and balance that against mine or Gary's history.
Nobody has the time or inclination to compile such a list again as it takes
manual intervention for each and every auction for grading and exceptions.
It's a pain in the ass.
