I'm guessing values have dropped as 'everyone' moves to m43, with the OM-D, and floods the market with quality 43 lenses at lower prices.
But what will happen when Olympus' new baby arrives (I'm betting on an m43 body which solves the CDAF/PDAF issue). Will all the new m43 'OM-2d' buyers suddenly cotton on to being able to use 43 lenses and push prices back up?
What do you think?

The 4/3 SHG lenses are still way ahead of any of the mFT lenses (except, maybe, the 75/1.8 and the 12-35/2.8 X). Even with slower focus they are worth keeping, so I will also be keeping my FT lenses.

For the 4/3's lenses I have, I will be keeping them, although it is frustrating trying to use Sigma 150mm macro lens on the E-M5, so I hope that something will make it worthwhile keeping it. In the mean time it might only get used on the E30 when I want to, although with MF & using a tripod, it would still be good on the E-M5.

Hanging onto our lenses and using them on 4/3rds bodies.
I'm not a seller anyway ... but the impending cost of the 'solution' may mean I don't get to sample the new ... thing ... for a long long time.
