He´s not here to defend himself and somehow I get the idea that you are not going to defend him, either. That newer lenses are better than older seems to be the official position of Leitz and Leica. I have had the DR Summicron and also it´s rigid brother and now have the version before the current one - all fine lenses - and I have no reason to doubt that position. You have - obviously - but you display pictures of exteriors of lenses to prove your point. Yes, I know that the late, lamented Modern Photography once wrote (in response to a question) that the DR Summicron is the best lens they tested, ever - but it was more than 20 years ago so if they tested the current version, would the conclusion still be the same? Nobody knows. All the best!
