Even as a s/h- opportunity the current lens might be 5x more expensive than the older version. But it´s a rare find. Somebody who bought the 2.8- lens won´t give it up easily, it´s too good.

 

If you have the cash get the new one. If not, you don´t seem to have another choice. Go for the older version, it´s by no means 5x worse than the new one.

I agree with k_g_wolf I had both. Clearly the old one is not bad. Not the sharpest lens ever, some lack of definition in the corner and a "normal" contrast. I was even ok on the DMR.

But I found the new one at a "reasonable" price and as it is smaller, lighter, I switched because using the 15mm/3.5 on top of the R9+DMR was like working out.

The 15/2.8 ASPH is indeed better optically, even very good for such a super-wide but too expensive.

Unless you find a bargain or this is one of your workhorse, you should stick with the 15mm/3.5.
