All of my comments made in this thread regarding APS and FF lenses (legacy?) were optical quality related to format (sensor) size, not feature set issues. That is another unrelated matter altogether. jco

My statement came out too strong. My experience is limited. I should have said _I_ find nothing wrong with the legacy lenses I have _tried_. I think the point remains. We tend to uncritically assume that new I better. If by legacy lenses, you mean pre-AF, then there may be criteria outside of hard optical properties to consider. If you want/need AF, then legacy lenses are not as good. If you want/ need programmed AE or shutter preferred automatic, then pre A lenses are not as good. If you want/ need aprerture preferred automatic, and the green button version of AE doesn't walk your dog, then pre A lenses are not as good. This has nothing to do with being uncritical regarding newer equipment. After that, it is really up to the individual to make a decision regarding what is better for him or her.
