The only change I've heard of so far is a mechanical one: the distance scale inside the clear window on the lens was once engraved or painted, and later it was replaced by a stick-on piece of foil. In one case that I heard about, the foil had peeled off under the window and fouled up the focusing mechanism. Not exactly what I'd call a change for the better. But it is a great lens, optically -- I wish I still had mine.
