Re: Please all stop buying legacy lenses

It's only the old Minolta mount and FD glass that's recently seen an uptick in price, because no SLR mount has been able to use them. All other legacy glass has been skyrocketing in price for a good 4-6 years now. I bought an m42 SMC Takumar 50/1.4 from KEH for $45 in 2008...the same lens in the same condition is listed at $109 now. And I'll bet that in 2005 or so you wouldn't have been able to give those things away. I remember seeing the price of a C/Y lens on KEH go up 25% in the space of a week. And it's getting much harder to find deals in pawn shops and antiques stores, because the number of people who don't realize what the stuff is worth is quickly dwindling.
