I don't know, but I've been complemented on the sharpness of the F
70-210 f4.0~5.6 and the FA 20-35 f4.0. That may change when I get a
higher resolution camera, (I'm still using *ist-D[x] bodies), but a good
lens seems to be a good lens.

As someone else has indicated, it might be interesting to know exactly
which old lenses you think are much poorer than the DA range.
If you are talking about consumer zooms, I would assume the DA ones
are better because design and production techniques have improved
much, i.e. it may not have too much to do with "digital-optimization"
or not. For primes this is not so much the case, or so I've been told.
Also, it wouldn't surprise me if some traditional designs just don't
work out right on digital, but you can't assume that all "old" designs
are poorer just because of that.
