Hi!
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!
