Lets see your black body with chrome lens.

<bump> For more discussion!😛

Here ya go Dave. My ala carte M7 with 50mm Rigid Summicron 😎 The cron is actually as new without a scratch on it. Elements are clear as can be. A rare find for these old lenses!

Dang Dave...I'd never seen this thread before; but I've given serious thought about a silver lens for my M4-2 as opposed to a black one. I figured the contrast would look good and this thread is visual proof.

Hopefully in another month or two I'll have enough saved up for a decent lens and then I can send DD's 40 'cron back to Hotlanta with my eternal gratitude for his trust and generosity.

These are nice. Always liked that look. I got the black M9 and have bought 2 silver ZM lens to get the two tone look.

Used to dislike the combo, now I love it.

Nice photos everyone! I used to think that chrome lenses on a black body weren't the prettiest thing, but these examples have definitely changed my mind.

Roland.

Wow...

I'd say any other camera/lens set can be considered inferior compared to that one!

Great finder and rangefinder, sharpest lens, 1/2000 shutter & externally visible meter readout, lightest camera...

Cool!

Cheers,

Juan
