A new version of Lens$db has been posted http://tinyurl.com/jcolwell-lensdb

Lens$db: Lens Price Database, version 18

The Lens Price Database, Lens$db, has prices and physical specifications for over 400 lenses, including: all Canon EF prime lenses and EF Extenders; all Canon EF L-series zoom lenses, plus a few others; a large selection of “alternative” manual focus lenses from Carl Zeiss, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Voigtlander, and other brands; a variety of lenses from Sigma, Tamron and Tokina; and, a selection of Medium Format Mamiya 645 lenses that are more-or-less compatible with EOS cameras, and with the Mirex Tilt-Shift adapter. The prices are mostly for used equipment in excellent to mint condition, based on eBay sales and list prices at many camera stores.

Cheers, Jim

Hi Jim,

it would be so much nicer if the Database could be browsed online (Search, graph etc).
There is a site that does that but only contains the data until 2010.

here

But great project you have nonetheless!

As always, Jim, much appreciated. I can't imagine the amount of time you put in this, but it's invaluable for many of us.

Excellent work, and I have consulted each of your databases from time to time. Believe me, I have some clue about the tremendous amount of work that goes into creating (and maintaining!) something like this.

Thanks to all for the kind words. Working on the database keeps me out of trouble. Well, not really, but it probably helps.

awesome. I personally don't mind the .pdf format at all, relative to web format.

do you have a time-series of this db? Would be interesting to see how these prices vary across time.

This database sucks. Get the one back that had the 70-200 2.8IS Mk1 at 2K. K, thx. Then check my F/S page.

Back OT, great database, and always worth a check so you can learn the current-ish, value of your equipment that you're looking to buy/sell.
