I've only used the older version a little but can tell you that the ASPH is better for me in every respect. Wonderfully flat field, no distortion, sharp right from f2, smooth even out of focus areas. Too contrasty? - use a different film. (But its not) Its so good I often consider buying a spare just in case. Its the best! Henry
