[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 841839, member: 50197"] Do you have any lenses currently? As to the vintage lenses being better than today's, IMO, they are better in only one category. That is durability. Current lenses are in general, sharper and have less optical issues than vintage. The 18-55 kit lens that commonly comes with the crop frame Nikon DSLRs is actually a pretty good performer despite the amount of plastic used in it's construction. They are also dirt cheap used, if you don't already have one. If you need something wider than 18mm, there are several options in newer lenses that won't break the bank. [/QUOTE]
