Different look, same lens?




In the images above, you can see that one of the lenses has a gold ring and black text on it and the other has no ring and gold text. Same lens (Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1). What is the difference between the two lenses? Are they the exact same optically? Why does one have a gold ring and the other not? I'm looking to buy one used today, but it has the gold ring and I don't know if that is a problem.

I think by just looking at the photos that the lens furthest to the left has been pushed into AF mode, whereas the other two are in MF. Also, is the gold ring coupled (attached) to the focus ring, because if so, it may just of been rotated out of frame.
