There is a picture on their (Japanese) website for you to compare the two lenses.

I apologize is these things have been asked before, but bear with me... Has anyone seen or gotton their hands on the new Pentax LTM lens? I'm intrigued... is there any difference between it and the regular production 43mm lens? Another thing... is the "new" Leica 0 designed (and priced) as a user or is it another amazingly priced collectible? It'd be kinda cool to have something like that... If only they'd make a new IIIf RD ST! Is the lens on the "0" a new design or an old one? Would a new version of the old design be any better than the original? Thanx for any info... Isaac
