Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6

Do lens go down in price as fast as camera's do? I paid $550 for my olympus E-410 this past X-mas. If you surf the web you can find it under $500. I was looking for lens and seen this Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 and it is selling $360 to $400.

How much do you think it will go for in half a year from now?

Thanks
Alex

Lens prices remain fairly stable. Camera prices drop as there's always something that does it better coming along.

Like Rhys said, lens prices rarely go down, because it's extremely rare for a manufacturer to completely replace a lens, and the production cost of precision glass doesn't decrease like the cost of microchips do.
