Interestingly the DOF scale on the 50mm seems to be calculated based on a COC of ~0.04mm which is a larger COC than they use to calculate the DOF scales printed on their 35mm lenses. I wonder if they are prototypes or final production units? In any case their appearance is very good news and I guess it will restore their credibility for a lot of advanced users.
