The first version (light grey) was not reputed to be that great. >> Had the early version, the lense was a good performer. The price was right $1,000 for an exc+ condition. The LD 2nd and 3rd version has internal focus and suposed to be better. The weak link on these lenses is the mounting system, too much slop in it. With the 300, the body to lense seemed to have a bit too much play physically. It how ever performed well, just not up to tight Leica tolerances. Al
