I'm talking trends, not specifics, Dave. I know not everyone who owns medium format is selling their stuff off. I'm aware that there are many compelling reasons for continuing to use medium format, and that it has many strengths over digital. But, many people are selling off their MF, and in many cases, it's to finance or partially finance going digital. It may only be (hypothetically) 10% or 20% of medium format users, but if it's that high, it's still enough to flood the market and drive prices of used MF stuff down. I've heard of many selling MF to get into digital. The seller here is the first that I've heard of who is selling his digital to buy MF. That was the only point I was trying to make. cheers, frank -- "It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby." -Eliott Erwitt
