Notes

The first digital rangefinder, two years before the Leica M8. Analogue needle gauges, a manual film-advance lever to cock the shutter, and a 6MP APS-C CCD. The strongest collector premium in this section — roughly 10x its utility value. Buy with eyes open: Epson's service window closed in 2013 and body frames, LCDs, shutters and electronics are unobtainable, while about one owner in three reports rangefinder alignment problems. Also SD-card capacity limits. Almost never listed in the US.

Latest pricing by source

Each row is a direct observation from the seller. How this works.
No recent price snapshots in the lookback window.

Price history

One point per day per (source, grade) pair, connected with lines. Hue marks the source; lightness within a hue marks the condition (darker = better grade). The dashed line is launch MSRP.

How we compute each section

References on each chart link down here. More notes will land as new sections grow.

1. Price history

#1.1 · Grade buckets
Each seller publishes their own raw condition labels (e.g. "Excellent+", "Like new minus", "Bargain"). Those are normalized to a small bucket set: mint, excellent, good, fair, poor, and unknown. The "Latest pricing by source" table above shows both the raw label and the normalized bucket so you can audit any individual mapping.
#1.2 · Missing days
A point is only drawn on a day when a snapshot existed for that (source, grade) pair. Lines connect across gaps so a series with sparse sampling still reads as a single trend, but absence of a point does not mean a stockout: it means we didn't see a listing at that grade that day.
#1.3 · Color encoding
Hue carries the source: terracotta = mpb, sage = keh, cobalt = B&H, honey = ebay. Lightness within a hue carries the condition: darker means a better grade (mint and excellent are darkest; poor is lightest). The dashed ink line is launch MSRP, included as a reference even though it isn't a price observation.
