[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 144476, member: 9521"] We can go by the numbers. Take for instance the ten top rated Nikkor lenses. 9 out of 10 of them are new G lenses. Expanding that number to 20 we see 17 of them are the newer G lenses. [url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Lenses/Camera-Lens-Ratings]DxOMark - Camera Lens Ratings[/url] If we now look at their optical ratings we see that 10 out of 10 of best optical lenses are the newer G lenses. [url=http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Lenses/Camera-Lens-Ratings/Optical-Metric-Scores]DxOMark - Optical Metric Scores[/url] So from a purely objective point of view, newer Nikon lenses have significantly better optics than their earlier series of lenses. From a subjective point of view, you may find these older lenses far better than the newer lenses and no one can argue with you. That's the beauty of photography.
