Are old famous lenses no longer good enough?
#1
Hi,



Its only now that i have been able to look at the the complete scope of this website and i must say, its a great source of information.

I especially like the technology section.



I was reading the lens reviews and noticed that old pro lenses like Nikon 180 2.8 and 135 F2 had been tested on D200 and the resolution figures were nice, but some of the new consumer lenses are outperforming them or are equally good. The newer pro lenses are in a different league completely.



Though photozone has not tested many old lenses on D7000 or D3X, it will be safe to assume that the results will be much less spectacular compared to the results obtained on a D200?



In other words, are these old pro grade lenses from 1990 are not good enough from today's standpoint? Will a 135 F2 still be a 'highly recommended lens on FX or a D7k?



Do you plan to test at least some of these, especially, 135 F2, on a FF body or a higher resolution crop body?



(When i say resolution figures, i mean the height of bars on those bar charts...sorry if these tests are camera independent and i am reading them wrongly).



Thanks and regards,
