Are there any benefits of going with modern lenses over optical, outside of Image stabilization and auto focus? Prices on the legacy lenses seem very affordable, but am I giving anything up going legacy versus modern.

The only reason to buy old manual lens is if you dont have any possibility to get modern native lens. New lenses are just way ahead.

Good info.  I do have the 30mm pancake and love it, but I was looking at the 85mm for portraits, but it's about $800 here, which was why I was opting to get the Rokinon 85mm Manual.  The discussion eventually led to legacy lenses and due to my lack of experience, I was intrigued.
