Don't think it's the final gasp of MF film, but I do think that (judging
from the prices I've seen) the equipment isn't exactly being dumped at
fire sale rates, either.  My guess is that the owners want the money, for
whatever reason (whether to invest in digital, pay their taxes, or spend
at the casino).

I'm noticing a lot of Mamiya 6 and &/7II have been come onto the market in
the last few weeks. Usually there's one or two being advertised about once
every month, but now it seems that one every few days.

My guess is that the lure of the digital and the improvement in quality is
finally convincing people to let them go...
