Bernard:

Unfortunately for youe pocketbook, there is a big difference between the
old 19 and the new.  While the old 19 was a remarkable lens for its
time, the new 19 is truly amazing, and twice as much.  If you are
interested in an old 19, I think the 21/4 Super Angulon is better.
(Conflict of interest disclosure:  I have a Super Angulon for sale).  I
have used all three.
