It's the first version... thoughts about the lens and any experience with it, anyone?
I appreciate your input, Steve
Through a convoluted set of circumstances, I've ended up with two (in both cases the price was too good to pass up). One is at DAG getting refurbished & updated to 3-cam, the other is now my 'working' 35. I have a little experience with it. It seems like a decent enough lens, nothing really spectacular. Watch for flare spots when the sun is in the picture area. I like the small size; there's hardly any excuse to leave it behind. "Small" in this context is w.r.t. other SLR lenses ;-)
