Okay, now I did my homework. The store I bought it from told me it was the
secondmost recent version, but they were wrong. It's the most recent,
identifiable by the 46mm filter size, and yes, you're darn tootin', it's not
a filter but the front element. Hmmm!!
I guess I'll put that hacksaw away then.
And keep quiet about how little they asked for the lens.
