You're right - prices have gone way down... except for the good stuff: Rollei F's & E3's, 
Leica M3's, Sinar Normas, Alpa 9's etc. are still going up. What's really going down is 
darkroom equipment - Leitz enlargers etc. It seems serious photographers are still 
shooting film, but printing digitally.
