I had used an older 3 cam version a while back, optically it is superb. The one that I currently use is a 3rd cam version that comes with the 55mm size filter thread. Image quality wise, based on my own practical experiences, there exists no difference in between the newer and older version. Best of light, Gerald Hsu
