Hi Gene,

I've see your picture and they show a perfect lens, his compactness is a
plus for me, I think it could be very difficult appreciate the differrences.

Thanks for your opinion,
Luis

Luis,

I do not have the generation IV lens, but do have the new asph lens.  I find
it plenty sharp and contrasty at all apertures and distances.  The photo
below and the next 3 in the gallery were taken with the new 28 Asph Elmarit.
I did compare it to the Konica Hexanon 28 and it blew the Hexanon away.  I
have only used the new lens with my M8, have not had a chance to try it on
my M6TTL yet.  I got it back in July of last year and really like the lens.
