Does anyone have experience of both the early silvernose SC 85mm, and the
later 85mm MC? I have recently acquired the MC version in addition to my
silvernose SC, but have not had a chance to run a comparitive test yet. Now
I have a buyer who is interested, but which one should I sell? The SC had a
($100) CLA a few months ago, so is in fine shape, whereas the MC has some
brassing on the lens flange, and (had) a loose rubber focus grip, but
otherwise looks and feels great.

What I gleaned from Gary's tests is that the SC was a little better
performer stopped down and that the MC version was optimized for us bokeh
addicts. If the SC was a good-looking silvernose, I'd never part with
it. Plus it sounds like your MC sample has been through the washer a
couple of times.
