No, I have the old CV 21mm version. My informations were from the CVUG and 
the cameraquest website. I guess the optical quality is the same as the 
optical design has not changed. The lens has been built flatter ("Pancake") 
because the new Bessa 4 with 21 and 25mm framelines requests that - older, 
bigger 21/25mm lens bodies intrude too much into the viefinder area.
