[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 738964, member: 13076"] Not based on experience but just from reading, that the newer lenses have much more complex optical designs and more advanced coatings so that they would be better able to correct for things like chromatic aberrations, flare, edge-to-edge sharpness, etc.. That being said, I think that the older lenses because of their more simple designs let maybe about 0.3 more stop of light through, and render colors a bit more naturally. That's purely anecdotal and I hope to be able to test that myself someday against my 400mm and 800mm. Still in terms of center sharpness, I think these old lenses hold up surprisingly well with the latest high res DSLRs. [/QUOTE]
