Yesterday I bought my wife a new R-E and 50 Summicron. Her favorite lenes
in the past have been short wide to tele zooms.

Looking at ads for the vario-elmar, it appears there have been two versions
of the 35-70 f3.5 and a 28-70 f3.5-4.5. Which was first? Which is current?
Where where the various versions made and shuld I care?

I am seeking comments about the various versions relative to sharpness and
general usage ease. I'm an M user and not familiar with the R optics.

Thanks for any information you can provide.
