[QUOTE="stmv, post: 97980, member: 10038"] that's funny, I think that with proper care, lens lens could last 100 years or more. maybe not so much the G lens, because of the motors, and electronics. My oldest lens now is from 69 or so, which 43 or so years. Many of my lens are over 25 years. Proper storage, is key. One worry, is over time, people that have the skill to repair lens will disappear. We are so much a throw away society, and folks that can huddle for hours over a bench, taking apart precision parts, and understand exactly how to fix/clean/lubicate a lens will be harder to find. I drop lens off at my local shop,, and am so happy that this old gear can be maintained. I wonder if you send a 40 lens to Nikon repair, if they will still work on them. [/QUOTE]
