Do older "film" lenses underperform on digital cameras compared with new lenses?

My take would be film lenses tend not to handle similar high contrast scene as well as digital era lenses.

Not sure whether you notice but digital era lenses handles highlights better, almost akin to having permanent highlights -5 in LR for film era lenses.

Therefore, there seems to be a more balanced exposure from the digital lenses as compared to film lenses, in a similar high contrast scene.

With regards to sharpness, seriously? I don't find myself printing larger than A4-sized regularly. Keyword: regularly.
