Yeah. I began with digital in 1999, hence things like the Nikon E series and Kodak 400 series. They flooded the used market in the face of the Nikon D1. By the time of the Nikon D2 series, the later Kodak 500 (Canon EOS-1N based) and 600 (Nikon F5 based) series flooded the used market.
Then, the Canon 1Ds came out and I went over there. Used mostly my Nikon manual focus prime lenses (20mm thru 500mm) with an adapter. Then, I added the 1D and a couple Canon f2.8 zooms. The Canon EOS-1N based Kodak 520c lives on my Leica microscope I use in my electronic work.
In 2003/4, I made a major change by going to the latest Kodak offerings: The 760c, 720x and Pro Back Plus on the Contax 645. I stayed with that until 2013 when I let the Contax go. In 2018 I let the 720x go and bought the Df which, in effect replaced all three of the old Kodaks. But, I keep the 760c as I make use of the swappable viewfinders and focusing screens which nothing else offers. This, on a copy stand with a macro lens as a 'wide field microscope' for documenting failed circuit boards
I am now here in Pentax land because I just added a 645D and a few lenses to the mix. My thinking going way back is I had a general purpose camera in the 760c and a Hi ISO one in the 720x and a Hi Res in the Contax. 6 MP, 2 MP and 16 MP respectively. Now the Df does what they all did, but I find I need a more like 36 MP for some things I want to do. My old Nikon lenses are from the film era and I have my doubts on using them on a current Hi Res body. If I replace what I have with late model lenses, it will cost...a bit. The Pentax 645D is pretty low cost these days and the really good A* and FA lenses are what I would call 'dirt cheap'. So, here I am.
I will keep the old Nikon glass and the Df it is all perfectly fine with. The D1H is an old workhorse (worth like $60 on the used market), good for shots destined for the web if nothing else. The 760c has use still due to some things with the way Nikon designed it, plus it offers Kodachrome color dyes in the sensor CFA. I doubt it is worth more than $300 anyway, so might as well keep it. The old E3, which is the size of the 645D due to it having those condenser optics to make it work Full Frame with F-mount glass is an oddity to keep on the display shelf with the old film cameras.
What I don't know about is the 660m. Specialized monochrome. I haven't used it much since I got the Df, making my B+W from Df color shots. It is still worth quite a bit, but once gone could probably not be reacquired.
Update: I did sell the 660m off to a collector. It actually paid for the new 646D kit.
