You'll probably find that ('any genre') to be untrue in a couple
of cases:
- items old enough to have quite some historical value
- collectors' items no longer freely available
- well-treated, undamaged items of high quality workmanship ---
while you probably won't make any money, you can get much closer
to a break even. I hear-tell Canon L lenses are in that class.

Yes, you're right, I should have noted that. I was thinking about rare items
being an exception when I wrote that post, but I didn't include it. I didn't
know that about Canon L lenses, but it makes sense.

You've obviously never used a Foveon sensor camera or have seen the
photos.

That would put him at an advantage, "Preddy" Stavrakoglou.

Please Brian, you can do better than that.



Ahhh yes, George/Georgette. The sexually ambiguous Foveon flag-waver. Now.
I remember that name. Couldn't find it because it was in my killfile. Oh
well, I guess there's another name to add now.

Please add me to your kill file list if you want. There's no need to read
my posts if you choose not to.

Just what the photographic world needs...more junky hardware.

It will still be interesting to read the technical reviews.

If it has the Polaroid name attached and uses Foveon
technology...really...who cares at this point?

Obviously a number of people, including Phil of DP Review. That doesn't
mean that we are interested in buying it though.
