Subject: [Leica] 90/2.8 Elmarit-Rs compared

When I was into the M system, my favorite lens was the E46 90/2.8 Elmarit.  
I understand that the last version of the R was the same optically as the 
current M.  My question is, has anyone ever shot the older Elmarit-R (series 
VII, 5 element I believe) and compared it side by side with the current 
(discontinued) version, wide open?  How about close focus distance: is the 
older one also 0.7 meters?  Also, are Series VII to E55 adapters available 
in brass (i.e. from either B+W or Heliopan)?  Thanks in advance!
