It has depth of field markings and also features a larger focusing rib which is joined by, to my mind the most useful change, a focusing tab. I have a late version of the first type and my frames click in fine (on an early M6), I reckon they must have worked on that problem during the life of the lens, 'continuous improvement' y'know. ~ Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Ernest Nitka [SMTP:enitka@twcny.rr.com] A question for perhaps the dealers on the list? 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.
