Age. The S version is newer. I have both old (chrome
barrel) and later S version Componons. The S version is a
better lens although the earlier version is quite
respectible being the best available when it was made.
If you are not able to examine these lenses before
purchasing them get a solid right of return. Condition is
everything. Do not accept a lens with _any_ damage to the
glass or any sign of external mechanical damage. Shine a
flashlight through the lens and also across the outside
elements. This will show up haze, paint flakes, separating
elements, scratches, etc., which might otherwise be hard to
see.
