Optically, there are two versions. The "heavy" version is the first one, with
a fixed tripod mount, using Series VIII filters, and a minimum focus distance
of 4.5 meters. The second version uses E67 filters, has a rotating tripod
mount, and focusses as close as 1.7 meters. The second version has three cams,
the first version may have one, two or three cams.
I have not used the old version. Optically, the second version is very
flare-resistant and the performance in the center of the photo is good.
Chromatic abberations in the outer areas of the picture reduce image sharpness.
