Originally posted by Clavius So, why the price drop in bodies, but constant rise in lens prices? And why not the other way round. We don't buy one lens to share on multiple bodies, but the other way round.
There are a number of reasons.
People are using them on 4/3 cameras .
Some lenses esp Nikon are proving to be very good for video in this regard.
My Leica lenses have more than doubled in three years.
Also CV lenses and Canon RF lenses.
China is sucking in a lot of this stuff too.
I just about managed to get my hands on a mint Pentax 50/1.2.
I was told that they don`t stick around long .
