I see some in the 2nd > hand shops..... The early verion has a removable lens hood which also has a little knob for rotating a polarizing filter, should you use one. The latest version has a built-in telescopic hood and takes E55 filters. Optically, the second version is significantly superior, especially at f/2.8 and f/4.0. FWIW, while the Elmarit-M 28/2.8 is regarded as the bench mark of 28mm lenses, I actually find the Elmarit-R 28/2.8 even superior. Hope this helps.... Best regards, Joseph
