Meaning

Just keep in mind that ultimately, there are better lenses out there and Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 probably outlived itself by a decade or two.

In this sentence, I wonder what 'outlived itself' means.

Does it mean Pentacon enjoyed reputation that it really isn't worth?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I think it means that it lasted too long after better equipment became available. But it's a strange phrase, and doesn't sound right. Clive
