The "Made in Japan" is (supposedly) a newer optical design, mechanical
design is also somewhat different to the earlier lenses, but in my opinion
the newer design is cheaper with more plastic. However, I've never actually
heard of anyone "wearing out" a 50mm f1.8 and even if they did it so so
cheap to replace it. Before I discovered this list I made the stupid
mistake of getting a 50mm f1.8 repaired, it cost more than I could have
bought a better used one.
