I have decided not to change over to digital for the time being..not until I can get a top quality full frame Canon SLR digital that will accecpt the current Canon lens line. But that is not my question, only needed background.
I have been thinking of actually purchasing a Canon 600 f4 IS...a large purchase. With all this talk of new digital cameras and potential new lens lines are there any thoughts about what might happen to the value of such a lens? Yes, I know that it will always be able to take great photos on my current Canon body, yes, I know that it will not suddenly stop working if the current lens series is discontinued and I know that progress is not necessarily a reason not to buy what is available today. But there is still no question that with a purchase this big, particularly for a non-professional, that there is still importance in the maintanance of intrinsic monetary value. Say, I decide in a few years that I no longer want to do this type of photography etc...if it held its value and even if I sell for 20-30% less I have essentially rented it for a few years...but if its value plummets dramatically there may not be an option to make a reasonable sale. What do you think? Is this a terrible time to be buying such a lens? Is this even an answerable question?
