Well if we ignore the money issue is there any advantage of an SL II? Are they better built or have tweaked optics ?
In some sense the current 'value' of the lens has become a bit of a negative here along with the fact that it is out of print and while I would think likely to reappear it is not a given.

Well, the big question is: will there be a SL II? And if so, what will it cost?
Personally, I see no reason for Cosina not to re-release the lens, I'm sure it would sell extremely well (in its narrow market). And probably adjust (read: ruin) the resell value of the older model.
