This lens is on ebay, it says it's the aspherical version.

How can I see the difference between the 2 versions?

Here is another one. It has a green "A" on the aperture ring.

And a third one:

The aspherical 15mm has a "4" on the distance scale. the spherical version does not.

Are you looking for a Bayonet or a M42 screw mount?

Thanks guys for the info.

I have a spherical one and checking to see what price they fetch now. I want to sell mine. I just did not know how to see the difference between the 2 versions, so wasn't sure which one I have.......

Asph version went for 931usd.
