I'm wondering if that would be true >of the R 28's. Dave, I have no experience with the R 28's, but when I got my M 28 I first tried a the most recent old version (version3) then decided to go on and get the newer one. The new one is a great lens. Great contrast and performs very well, smaller than the older one. Did not really shoot enough with the older one to determine the difference. The older lens seemed to have some speckeling (may have been separation) on the rear element so I traded for a new one. If I read Erwin's report correctly the current M version is slightly better than the current R version. But there have been several people who have raved about the R 28, Pete Myers (still on list Pete?) used to talk favorably about the current R28.
