I have the newer and this is great - very compact with more positive detent for the three focal lengths. The polarizer setup is nicer - a 67 mm filter fitting into a special filter holder much like a severly vented lens hood allowing you to look thru the polarizer while turning it. The f/4 is an obstacle but if one like provia 400 and Delta 3200 you might get away with it. The Tri-elmar and 90 TE would be the only two lenses needed. The Trielmar at f/4 is perfect on the Hexar RF by the way.

The consensus on the LUG seemed to agree, in prior postings. All positives. Robert G.
