Andrew asked:
>1. Will the improvements show up if  the camera is hand held?

Yes at all times: the higher contrast, suppression of flare, greater
clarity of fine details and much improved image quality off center shine at
every shutter speed.

>2. Does one need the finest emulsion film (Kodachrome 25 and 64 or Fuji
>equivalents)  to see  the advantage of the new designs?

No, it will be visible with most films: slide, B&W of every speed and
colour neg film (with diminishing returns) when a good lab is at hand.
Assuming exact exposure and good processing!!!!!!!!

>Depending on the answer to these questions and one's  individual
>photographic style,  upgrading to the latest  may not make much sense even
>if funds to do so are readily available.

Here Marc should provide tha answer.
