If presented with the opportunity to buy a brand new version of either, I
would go with the MC version. The advantage of the SC for B&W can be
outweighed by the increased flexibility in shooting into bright lights or
the sun.
Where you see the differences between a SC and MC lens for B&W isn't so much
a matter of a huge difference on a single image, but is definitely seen in a
comparative body of work. As I've mentioned before, with freshly processed
negatives hanging to dry, I can spot a Leica roll of film from across the
room. Uncanny.
Note: A change in films or exposure can have a greater impact on this than
the type of lens. For example, when shooting with a chromogenic film, it is
difficult to get clean Zones 0-I. Use of a SC lens with a chromogenic film
just makes it worse. However, an SC lens with Plus-X helps keep Zones I-II
intact without them sucking down into Zone 0.
