Are old lenses worth looking at..?
Big question there, I realize, but..
I have a canon 5d, and am getting an EOS3 film body. now, I know that my lenses will fit the film body, but what differences are there between the old stuff and the new stuff - ie I have a 24-70, and was wondering if a really old super-wide lens might be worth looking at - cheap, and no need for fancy focusing motors etc. So, what problems might there be - maybe slightly softer, more flare-prone I guess, but anything much else..?
