Nikon to withdraw from film camera production+
2006-01-12 10:21 (New York)

TOKYO, Jan. 13 Kyodo
Nikon Corp. said Thursday it will stop making all but two of its
eight film single-lens reflex cameras, unveiling a plan that will
virtually put an end to the company's film camera production.
The camera maker said it will cease production of the six
cameras one by one.

Film cameras - other than disposable - long have approached curio
status. Even high-quality, top-brand ones that were high-price when
new have nil value on eBay now unless as antiques - meaning that most
all don't even draw any bids or just very low ones.

Sales run any company. Film is just going away. I think I'd better sell
off my silver stocks.

Help me understand why old Nikon gear is still so pricey on ebay.
True, some commodity type items are cheap, but have you looked at
Photomic meter prisms, focusing screens, bodies, or motor drives? Or
lenses?

I only wish they had nil value on ebay so I could afford to buy it
all.

Days ago a Chinon SE3 Memotron in good condition with a 50 mm lens
sold on Ebay for 260 USD. Go figure it!

Too late. You should have thought of that when the Hunt brothers
were still around. <g>
