Hi Wim
There are two versions. The first version (model 51B) was made from 1979 to
1984. The second version (model 151B) was made from 1989-2000. They use
different lens hoods, but otherwise the main difference is that the first
version had four built-in filters; Normal (UV), 80B, 81B, and Y2. The later
model apparently does not have built-in filters but takes 82mm external
filters.

One further question :
Is this the same lens, or a newer version (which I think it is).
Tamron MF 3,5/17 SP AIS
Thanks again,
