I don't think any autofocus lens qualifies as antique - though the 1981-4 SMC Pentax AF 35-70/2.8 for the Pentax MEF might just. (The first mass produced AF SLR lens).
I wouldn't consider my 1970s manual focus lenses to be antiques either.
The oldest lens I've used on my SLR is a 1930's Kodak Astigmat, I think it might be reasonable to class that as an antique, but for true antiques you have to go further back to the brass bodied lenses I've got for large format work.
