I think less demand lead to higher prices, which lead to even less 
demand, etc. which is opposite to the way economics is supposed to 
work. Now, I don't know squat about econ, but increases in demand I 
think are supposed to raise prices, and a loss of demand is supposed to 
lower prices.

any.

As I recall, OM lenses at least are in line with the manual focus Nikon 
lenses, or at least in the same ball park.

Nikon 24/2.0 MF - 799$
Olympus 24/2.0 - 719$

Nikon 28/2.0 MF - 699$
Olympus 28/2.0 - 719$

Nikon 50/1.2 MF - 549$
Olympus 50/1.2 - 439$

Not much difference at least with these lenses.

All prices from B&H. 

Be seeing you.
