I just got my film back from a trip to the UK with the newer version. Here are a few shots I took. Scans came from thedarkroom so they are decent, but not perfect. Also these are obviously just snapshots, not the best way to fully judge the performance of the lens. Happy to share more photos if it would help you make a decision.

Personally I’m very pleased with the results on film. I mostly bought the lens to have a compact travel lens, however I’m been very happy with the results.

Has there been any more definitive evidence of differences between these lenses, specifically on the M10 and M246? We’ve got some reviews saying the old one is sharper in the corners, some the new one, and that Ken guy saying they are optically the same. Does this mean there is really no difference? I’m not concerned with hoods. Thanks.

Does anyone know what Leica hood came with and/or fits the 11606? What kind of mount does it use?

Also, what years were the 11606s made?

M-mount lens from 2006 with 12526 hood

Had a chance to set the two new-version 28s next to each other - haven't posted any images before so I don't know if these will work (!)

With the hoods on there is only c.5mm difference in height and the hood caps are the same. Essentially the 28 cron has a 'squashed' hood that reduces the difference caused by the longer barrel. I always use a hood so for me there is essentially no benefit to the elmarit (aside from cost obviously).....

I'm sorry how did you manage to fit the newer metal hood on the 11606?

A very big and hearty Welcome to the Forum!, gdanielcea, and I trust you will have lots of fun here!

In relation to the lenses and hoods used? I suspect that Q most certainly would have said; "Oh Do Pay Attention, 007!"......😸......

As ltc has mentioned in post #30 the comparison of 'Lenses with Hoods' (in post #13) was the 28mm f2.8 Elmarit ASPH v2 and a 28mm f2.0 Summicron.
