My German is a bit rusty, but it seems that the author likes the Rokkor with the 55mm filter thread better than the later models, but hasn't tested them side-by-side.

Well, some people say that Minolta tried to cut costs on their later versions. I am not completely sold on that assumption and I believe that the coatings must have improved over time.
