I DID read your post and you did say what you said you said but it was irrelenant to the dicussion and never really true anyway. There is rarely true absolute zero demand for anything so it's a general observation that is generally useless and not even reomtely applicable to the subject at hand. jco

Do please take a leaf out of your own book and read other people's posts before commenting on them. I said supply is irrelevant IF there is no demand. This is a general observation. I did not say that there was no demand whatsoever for this particular type of lens; the point was that demand is more important than supply, and that rarity doesn't determine price. Demand does.
