There are two versions of the book, one from 1984 and one from 1985. I
believe that the later version had at least one new lens that was not in
the first version, maybe the 50-250 or the 35-70/3.5-4.5. I have the first
version (got it free from someone who sold me an 85-250).

Off the top of my head, the two Cosina produced zooms and the 90 f/2 Macro
(came out after publication of the book), as well as the 28 f/3.5, 55
f/1.2,
200 f/5, and the manual macro lenses. It looks like the book covered all
the current production lenses at the time of it's publication, but not
previous lenses that were discontinued. The 50-250 and the 35-80 along with
the 90 f/2 and the Cosinas were released after publication of the book if I
remeber correctly.
