It's the old version, Tom, with no filters.  The newer version, even 
without the ROM, is deeper and interferes with the mirror.  The old 
19 has a huge front, and moderate distortion and flare, but is still 
much better than the really wide Canon's.  I like the Canon 24/1.4L 
but anything wider has problems.
