I haven't used the first-version 250. I avoided it mostly because the tripod mount is fixed, not rotating. Focussing between infinity and the minimum focus distance is a bit slow and laborious, probably not much different from the 280mm f/4.8. I don't know anything about its optical quality; if it's similar to the 280, the decision would be rotating tripod mount (280) vs. automatic diaphragm (250). If you never do verticals the choice is much easier.
