You're kidding, right? There have just been threads about the pros and 
cons of the 2 versions of this lens and the 50/1.2 just over the last 
couple of days.

This is the early radioactive version which yellows with age, as you can 
see in the pictures.

Not too attractive either. Obviously someone made it a stealth lens by 
blacking out all the lettering on the front ring and the silver nose. 
Now with the blackening wearing off the silver, ti looks really ratty.

Likely a reference to the 2 radioactive elements in this lens.
