Rest assured it is a 4th generation.  It has the finger tab for focusing, 
plus it's a 50th Anniversary issue with 1934-1984 engraved on the barrel.

Since I was a teenager I asked myself: Is it even worth it to get whatever 
edge the lenses for the Leica have or are hyped as having?  The answer has 
always been no, esp. from a LOGICAL cost/performance viewpoint.  I've have 
always thought I could do the same quality work with an Zuiko - granted that 
I'm not needing a 35mm f/1.4 lens (or other non duplicated lens) to get the 
shot.
