   The new one is a great lens. I sold mine and had buyer's remorse.  I just 
picked a new version of the lens in chrome at good discouint with passport 
from kbcamer. I guess the chrome verion is being fased out or Leica is offer 
discounts.

Is there any optical difference between the old chrome 50/2.8  
collapsible Elmars of the 1950's to 1974,  and the newer 50/2.8  
Elmars which were issued starting sometime in the 1990's...

Does anyone experienced in using these lenses see any differences in  
the photos from them?

Which vintage is preferable if in good shape, and the cost not  
considered?

I appreciate your advice, Steve
