So many lenses were offered in chrome only. Are going to pass on a Summar lens for $25 because all of your LTM cameras are black?

At first I didnt want anything to do with black leica bodies, I just wanted chrome, and then when I got a black body I didn't want to ever see a chrome lens grace it because I thought it was ugly as hell. As you can guess I ended up with two chrome lenses and ended up loving how it looked.
Go figure! hah

Chrome lenses came first
Chrome lenses came first
Most of my chrome lenses came before I adopted Bigfoot & Bubba. The 51.9mm DR Summicron only came in chrome. I'm glad of that because it is really stout and the chrome has held up well. I have a few black lenses now. No doubt they look nice on either chrome or black bodies.
In use, you can't hardly see the chrome anyway.

I hope the pictures you shoot with it look even cooler. Or do you look more AT your camera than THROUGH your camera?

is that the 28 ultron mounted?
Unfortunately, I sold the T (and Summi). By my chrome lenses now live on my black R4a.

Now here's the question...
Is a black body with a chrome lens and meter too much?

I hear tons of good things about it...and 28 is my new favorite focal length.
If I didn't just buy a 28 Elmarit I would have an Ultron in the bag.
They are both excellent. Enjoy the Elmarit and don't look back.

If black body and chrome lens = slob, then factor in the empty J D bottle, does that make you a drunken slob?cmogi10 said:

What sort of 19 year old are you, 2 in the afternoon and the bottle is still half full or is that half empty?
