The benefits of the newer one AFAIK are: smaller barrel diameter for les VF obstruction, a focussing tab, and a more positive frameline coupling. Optically they're the same.

What is the benefit of the newer TriElmar. I have the older version and feel like Leica has issued their version of the silent recall only they didn't recall my lens they just re-designed a newer one. Any thoughts. My trielmar on my M6 does not click the correct frames every time but I thought of this as a minor flaw - has this been fixed - someone on the list last week with a newer version seemed to indicate not.
