There is an advertising industry out there that spends billions trying to convince us that the latest/newest is best .... they wouldn't do that if it didn't have good effect!
On average however I would tend to agree with the proposition that the modern lenses are on average technically (optically) better than older lenses, and particularly so for zooms. But that ignores cost, and for me thats decisive when considering between a good vintage lens that I can acquire for tens of $$ (££) or a new lens for 100's. And it's always worth bearing in mind the wry comment from one of the contributors on Luminous landscape:
... even vintage lenses.
Now if only pentaxes worked really well with the legacy lenses instead of all the exposure/firmware/technical issues we have to learn to deal with.;)
