Huh? This isn't about usable life span but actual use. I have a whole bunch of 30-35 > year old pentax SCREW lenses which are even > older than K lenses that are still in excellent > shape and still very desireble to own and use. > You basis is flawed.

I though you were american and had some experience with consumer society. The garbage dumbs around here are full of stuff with plenty of usable life left. People are buying several hundreds of thosand of Canon and Nikon DSLR's every month and most buy new lenses with them. "No one" is mounting a 30 year old lens on their Canon. Pål
