  http://www.lhsa.org/
  Click on "Viewfinder" and scroll down to the
  "Volume 31 No. 3, 1998" menu and select
  "The 50mm f/1.4 Summilux By Dick Gilcreast"

Which says (with reference) on the top of page 3 that
the design was tweaked in ~1968 for a flatter field and
better edge sharpness at middle apertures.

Also missing in the Compendium is the recomputed pre-ASPHERIC 35-lux.
