And the Leica R8 body that I wanted so badly in 1998 and simply couldn't
afford (it was over $2600, never mind the lenses!) was sold to me in minty
mint mint condition, in the original presentation box, with the winder, for
$199 two years ago. The Leicaflex SL body, which cost over $800 in 1969 when
I first saw one and fell in love with it (a Nikon F Photomic FTn with 50mm
f/1.4 lens was $415 then, to give you a sense of the scale of its price) was
tossed in with two of the Leica R lenses I bought in 2013 at no
charge—nobody offered the seller a dime for it. My beloved Olympus E-1, a
professional grade body in 2004 that cost over $2200, currently sells for
about $80.
Time is fleeting. Machines are locked into their time.

So I received a missive from KEH.com advertising a sale on Bargain and
Ugly equipment. (The picture with the advert. was pretty funny so I gave
it a click), then decided to look at Bargain SLRs, the *ist-D which once
sold for $1600.00 is now worth $43.00 the Nikon D70 which was even more
expensive can now be had for $47. Damn modern tech is ephemeral.
