The New and Improved Fun with Nikon Images!

I'm curious if anyone here uses "old" Nikon glass, and if they do, have you ever compared it with the new lenses? My curiosity is if the new lenses are sharper? I'm not unhappy with what I have but I have nothing to compare them with either. Just wondering if I am getting everything the camera has to offer in sharpness by using these old lenses. The lenses are all about 35 years old, manual focus, primes. Joe
I only have manual primes for my D200. I´m sure there are newer lenses that offer improvements, but I´m often astonished at how the old Nikkors deliver. Size, build, reliability, sturdiness are all important to me. (I had a 1964 3,5/55 Micro Nikkor almost for free - excellent results!)

Rayyan! That picture is so colorful and strong - still it makes me remember my grandmother washing her husband´s blacksmith´s clothes - by hand, heating the water on a wood-burning oven. Not much color to that memory. The first washing machine entered the premises sometime in the early sixties.

Steve! Bloody great! I think the guy in #6 looks cool, fun guy to know.

Leif,thanks for stopping by. I too remember my grandmom and my mother washing clothes and can only admire their patience and strength doing the manual wash.

One gets used to the lazy life very easily.

Regards.
