I happened to purchase one of the LAST old style 50 1.4 Summilux Lenses (43mm filter, metal vented hood - close focus (only :-) ) 1.0 meter. It's one of the last, white box and all, - a week later the new one came out. Is this lens worth any more now? Is it different (optics wise?) than the newer version? Thanks!
