[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 221880, member: 8705"] I just don't understand why you would pay $3000 just because it supports old glass. Whenever I've compared 25 year old glass with the modern equivalents I just don't find they are as crisp. For example I have a Nikon 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 AF that belonged to my father that we used to use a lot. Once we bought the modern 70-300 VR it's never been on the camera again having compared the difference. Not pre AI but you get my point. Maybe they have a look that appeals to that person and I know sharpness isn't everything in that respect. It just feels like paying $3000 for a record player to play old 45s or 78s, when I could get a good MP3 player for $150 and just buy the old records from amazon or iTunes for $700. [/QUOTE]
