The one with series 7 has been serving me for more than 10 years with no disappointment except my blunders in focusing. It has been one of my favorite lenses. I have not used the latest one but don't think there is a big difference between the two except coatings. The old one with series 7 is a steal specially because lots of people do not prefer 135mm focal length for some reason. I would not mind getting another one for a good price.

Practically speaking, from those who have actually used the lens, can anyone tell me the difference between the 135mm 3 cam lens that was made in Canada (the latest) vs. the ser. 7? (flare, warmer vs. cooler, contrast, bw vs. color, bokeh, etc). The difference in price between the two is $150 to $200 or so.
