>>3636787Most old lenses are 'fine'. The real differences are in production tolerances and changines in coatings. Old zooms flare a lot more.
Then you get into wear and tear, slack in bearings and the little flecks of oil and fungus that may accumulate.
As it is, I just bought my first brand new, modern lens. Unfortunately, the current inconveniences occured while the first roll of film from it was out for processing - so I don't know how it's shooting.
And yes, that is my newest body.
