I agree with you, Mdean. I've heard some stories about the newer lenses breaking down after ten years or so, and the circuitry or motors being no longer available. At least, if my mechanical equipment wears out, I can conceivably machine new parts. Assuming the equipment is worth the labor. I am still somewhat pissed with Canon for not just converting the FD mount to all-electronic, rendering my collection of FD lenses pretty much unusable with modern cameras. Nooo, the EF mount is soooo much better! (For Canon's bottom line, that is...)
