What does the age have to do with it?
THE AGE ARGUMENT IS TOTALLY BOGUS AND STUPID.
Either the K/M lenses are high quality
lenses capable of a wide variety of photograhic
uses or they arent. YOU CANT ARGUE that
they arent important ONLY because they are 15-30
years old.
On digital, they quite often are no longer high quality lenses. Their
imaging properties quite often just don't cut it with DSLR sensors.
Thats a fact of life, and it renders many otherwise fine lenses unuable and
therefore obsolete for digital applications.
You'd know this if you had first hand expereince rather than a big mouth.
