If you think being able to use old wide angle lenses will justify an

especially
so when the full frame is being imaged. Almost inevitably a new
lens will
be purchased soon after the new camera, a camera which ironically
had been
intended to stretch the useful life of the old lenses. Why not cut
out the
middleman and buy a new lens for the camera you have right now. The
residual value of the pre digital lens will be near to zero anyway,
so cut
your losses on it and move on.
Please don't tell my insurance company that the value of my SMCP-A
15mm f3.5 has been devalued!

P.S. The police have given up on any good leads toward the recovery of
my equipment.
P.P.S. A SMCP-A* 135mm f1.8 was on eBay last week, in Poland, for
$2600 US. Didn't sell.
