[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 129303, member: 9240"] It is very much a rule when it comes to good glass, but it's not a hard and fast rule. The more available the lens (i.e. the more they've made) the less the resale value. A 70-200mm f2.8 is going to hold onto most of its value, while a 18-105mm DX won't hold the same percentage, even if it's a good, solid lens. Most widely available lenses need to be priced at 2/3 original purchase price for any hope of moving them, even if they're in perfect condition. The law of supply and demand. [/QUOTE]
