The design is basically the same but the elements are ground differently as they are mounted in a better, more precise and secure way. At the very least, the new mounting system provides better control of internal flare and less sample variation. They also seem to have tweaked the optical design enough to justify moving the close focus from 1 metre to 0.7 metre.
