I just did a completely unofficial, who knows what this really means overview of the economy. I went to KEH and searched for Leica film cameras and was surprised by how many more were listed than the last time I looked. A lot of stuff that doesn't come up very often. They have a number of M5's in black chrome and silver, including a (really expensive) 50th anniversary edition. There was also a M6 Classic with a .85 finder. It could be trending towards another wave of bargain film cameras or it could indicate people deciding they relly could use the cash instead of a MP. The days of over priced M6's seem to be over.
Yeah, you can even see it on FM B&S. It is a bit strange though how these shops get a sudden influx of gear. camerawest a few weeks ago had a big supply of film Ms, and Nikon film SLRs - things like F100s, FAs, FGs etc. Now it looks like they ave sold all that stuff.
I'm wondering if collectors are unloading? Just strange all of a sudden to see 1980s and 1990s Nikons, as well as a sudden influx of Ms.
The prices are starting to edge downward. Could be investors clearing out their stock or people who bought into the film craze and are now facing twenty five or thirty dollars a roll for film and processing.
See my addition to my earlier comment since I was no longer familiar with the KEH site (I avoid this seller for reasons shared in an earlier seperate thread). I don't see any downward moving - not even on the FM seller site here.
