How many new film SLRs are being cranked out? For comparison, Nikon & Canon sold 2.5M 35mm SLRs in 1999, this year what? Zero? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshloeser Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 <p>Just as a note about the F6: I believe it is in reality a discontinued camera in all but official status only. It is a member of the D2 family, which ceased production close to three years ago. It is being sold as new, of course, and certainly for a high price, but all of that is from stock. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
