David-
Well when they first hit the market, the price was dependent upon and rose
to meet the 'elastic' demand of a limited supply. Then Marc said it was just
a decent $500 lens, the supply rose as well, so the price is now around
$350! Simple economics 101!
Dan :o}~
- -Now- if the supply of Noctiluxi would go up, the demand down, and the price
hit about $500....
(The best of all possible worlds!)
