Nope. There has been no change in the 50mm f/1.0 Noctilux formula since it's beginning. Though there was some indication at the Photokina where the built-in lens hood version was released (so I read in a Photokina report on Compuserve) that there will be an optical change as soon as Photokina '98. We shall see. And they also mentioned a CL2 in the same report. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Police tagline. Do not cross.
