Notes

First Foveon X3 camera: three stacked photodiodes per location instead of a Bayer mosaic. RAW-only (X3F) and needs Sigma Photo Pro, which is barely maintained. Runs on 2x CR-V3 plus separate CR2 cells and is fussy about CF cards. CHECK THE DUST PROTECTOR — the removable glass in front of the sensor is often missing or cracked on used bodies and Sigma replacements are on indefinite backorder. Second-rarest working body in this section.

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.

See Methods notes #1.1, #1.2, #1.3.

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.
