Originally posted by pentaxnood Well actually I bought a few months ago following what you said, it was great for value but definitely not the best. So I am now knowledgeable about Pentax lenses, I was wondering maybe an old lens is much better than new lenses.
I'm interested in your experience, which lens are you talking about? If it's something I reccomended, I definitely want to know your experience and how it compares with mine.
I don't necessarily think the old lenses are better per se, but i think you can get some very good quality glass if you don't need the fully automatic luxuries. In some cases the optics are definitely better compared with what's available now - but you'll have to sort through a lot of advice. I do know I've got some very good images from an old M50mm f/2 kit lens, I think it all depends on the copy you have and how you use it.
