added by Frederick Wasti :
This is incorrect. There was only ONE version of this particular VS1 70-210/3.5 lens (Version 1), although there were two versions with the specs of 70-210/3.5 (this one and the one shown at http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_605.html , which is Version 2. Most importantly, the differences between the two 70-210/3.5 versions are ~NOT~ "insignificant" (as a comparison of this page and http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_605.html both show).
