Before the BR were released the zooms were amazing and for the 40-80 you needed a very good 80 and 55 copy.
I can't talk about the 55 but my 80BR is amazing and much better when all of my 3 80 LS none BR.
I haven't hothead the chance to work with the zoom after they became BR.
Just to make sure. Yes the design is the same between the BR and none BR lenses, however quality control picked up and I don't find it surprising that my 80BR outperform all of my 80 I ever owned. (6 in total; only one of them is getting close. )
I have both and am very happy with both. They are big and heavy and slowish compared to the primes at f/4-5.6 but they are very sharp and the convenience of a wide range of focal lengths in just two lenses is great. My only wish is that the would be a 25-50mm to round out the full range of required focal lengths for me. I use them on an XF with IQ3-100.Thank you for your comments.
I am wondering if anyone here can comment on the P1BR Zooms?
Not sure why you have that asterisk at the end of your notation on the Schneider150mm/2.8 Blue Line LS?...

It must be a reminder for me.
I don't think I can wait for delivery at Capture Integration in the Southwest 2017....

Blue ring is just a plot by Phase One to make people think their "old" lens is no good any more. Typical Phase One scheme
