? Maybe I'm not getting it. Are you saying that the price of
used MF glass will go up if it is supported better? I suspect you're
probably correct, which can only help.
To me it seems like the benefit of new lensed (through quality,
weight reduction, autofocus, focal length, etc) should stand for
themselves. I thought that the benefits of a new product over an old were
supposed to do that... not be artificially depricated and lose
functionality.
If I *needed* new AF glass, or a new item was produced with enough
quality differential to merit its purchase, I would jump right in.
