As soon as the istD came out in 2003, I felt that 67 users would switch early so I immediately sold all my 67 kit stuff at the peak prices, within 2-3 years the prices had essentially collapsed. That was one of those rare cases where I guessed right and sold off at the right time. This economic downturn of 2008 probably hasn't helped the 67 situation much either. Almost all used pentax gear is down somewhat from 18 months ago, but film related gear has really fallen off the cliff. Except for large and ultra large formats, film is nearly dead by now. Small and medium format film cameras and lenses only good for those film cameras are difficult to sell at any price at this point.
