Aye, but you would need to correct for the value in today's money of the
1976 cost of the M645 for that to be a truly valid comparison - not that I
would want that to stand in the way of the point that the value of digital
technology falls through the floor as soon as you "invest" in it - a
continuing vindication of Gordon Moore's Law.

They all are cratering in comparison to their original price.
Notice I didn't even both describing the precipitious fall of digital backs.
It's just that when you start at a higher price, the used prices remain
higher.
Now compare that to a Mamiya 645 kit built in 1976 (thirty years
old) that STILL sells for as much as the original purchase price.
