>>4127267The thing is, that's always been the case. The "disregard bodies" rule came around like 12 years ago, and even then, you were able to buy used, previous gen or down-market bodies and get 90% of the functionality of a top tier body for something like 33-50% of the price. And current gen top-shelf bodies very quickly depreciate and become last year's junk. On the other hand, apart from dying or dead-end mounts (Sony is infamous for this), lenses retain a ton of value for their entire lifespan and are essentially free if you decide to resell, especially if you buy used.
