from what I see here (or did when I last looked) yes.


In the second hand market, we see this reflected in repuatable shops: 
a fuji gx680 (drool!) with a 180mm and a 250mm costs $2200
a hasselbad 500cm body is $500
an EL/M bosy is $250

a Canon 1V body is over $1000
a Canon AE-1 $250


but it must be a country thing is as you say, us prices are multiples of dollars more than 35mm prices
