As I understand it, lenses for digital are shaped slightly different than lenses for film and if you use your film lenses you can wind up with some aberrations.
The 16 PRO is exactly what I would like for us to have next.
You pay money for good stuff, and it just lasts and lasts!
Generally, it's not the arrow, but the Indian! Very few manufacturers make "bad" lenses, at least for long, and many "kit, Prosumer, less espen$ive" lenses are magnificent. Perhaps not as rugged as the deservedly legendary "pro" lenses, but more affordable, at least for me, as well as amazingly capable; i.e.,The brand I am most familiar with: Nikon 50 mm f/1.8, 18-55 VR or non VR models, 17-80, 70-300 f/ 4.5-5.6...both AF S and AF P models. (Avoid the cheaper non-VR models.) The list goes on and on, not just for Nikon, but for all major manufacturers. Sooo...Avoid on-line "pros" who say you MUST have this or that len$, or that "Pro" level camera or objective is a must have. Do your research, buy good, less-expen$ive (not cheap) and if you find a real need for more expensive equipment, sell what you have or use it as a trade in.
There were cable releases and there is the Bulb setting on some. The Bulb setting let you use a squeeze bulb to hold the shutter open for long exposures. Today my Canon has a wifi widget that allows you to control the camera and a phone app that gives even more utility.
I happen to be looking at the VR2 gold label lenses but many are grey market (not for me) and or have damaged filter rings or scratched lenses because a purist figured a .0001 percent gain in image quality was worth destroying the lens without a protective filter. The quest continues.
