It is, at least in the UK, although there are a few still advertised as
"new" here.

What's a first generation digital camera worth now, after a couple of
years? My £175 OM-2SP is still worth, well, at least £175.
Compare the digital and wet darkrooms as well...... Potentially lower
materials costs are soon gobbled up by equipment depreciation. And I'll
bet my last enlarger bulb that in 30 years' time you won't be able to get
Zip drives and whatever repaired, so what of your archived digital pix
then.....? ;-)
Happy New Year to all!
