[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 273421, member: 986"] Glass always retains value. I can give you a very recent example. I bought a D300 brand new in December 2007 for about US$1800. At the same time I also bought a used 17-55 for about US$950 - that lens still sells for US$1400 new today. I sold both a couple weeks back. I recouped around US$450 for the body and US$725 for the lens. When I go back and analyze my Lightroom catalog, upwards of 75% of my images were made with the 17-55. If a D400 had been released, I would still be using the lens. At a cost of US$225 for a solid 5 years of use (or US$45 per year), that lens was a bargain. [/QUOTE]
