For a specialty item like this, you will probably lose money when selling.
The current list price is what? $7000 or so?

I got mine for $5000, practically new from a wedding photog.

But if you don't mind losing 10-20%, or that you think you will keep it
"forever," then by all means.

My heavy 3 lens kit is the 21'lux, 50 Nokton (what a bargain :-) ), and the
85/2 ZM, Sometimes I just take the 21 and 35 luxes, or swap out the Nokton
with the 50 lux. They are all heavy lens, but still much smaller / lighter
than dSLR setup.
