Oldest lenses many times better than latest ones. Oldest lenses made under cold war when two blocks did race against to each other. Latest one like 2.4 especially really latest ones usually produced in mass amount and goal was only to sell them.

Buy a new one Laughing they are still cheaper due lot of 'scratch free' people look only MINT MC lenses

My MOM did teach me in my early child hood don't shake camera and not shoot against sun Laughing please don't get it wrong! I rare or never shoot against strong light , if sometimes I do there is trace of flare of course with wide lenses even my best one Olympus OM 18mm MC has flare trace.
