Subject: Re: [Leica] 19mm/f2.8 Elmarit-R. How to tell the difference between the old and current design ?

Pitak,

The new lens (cat.no. 11258) has a built-in filter turret with ND, yellow/green,
orange and blue filters. It is also considerably smaller than the older type. The
old lens (which I have) has no built-in filters and a huge front element (filter
size 82mm). The catalogue number is 11225.
