So I have a photographer buddy who has a couple of old lenses for a Nikon that show no signs of degradation. They are:
-50mm f/1.8 (from the 80's) $40
-Vivtar 135mm f/1.8 (he says its pretty rare) $60
Just wondering if you would even consider buying these or just spend the extra cash on a newer lens. From the pics I've seen that he took with these lenses, they look really sharp and clean. And with these being older, they won't have an in-focus sensor(?), right? It would be completely optical focusing with these? Thanks for any help you can provide.
