Re: Help needed (longish)- Silver Limited on black body?
Cameron - you may have missed it, but the closest we have come to that set of photos is from Rob Studdard: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~geroc/02-P3032977m.JPG http://members.ozemail.com.au/~geroc/01-P3032974m.JPG Black limited lenses on a lovely LX. Not exactly the same Black as a Black MZ-S, but close enough to give me a sense of the esthetics of an all black lens on a black camera vs. Wendy's all silver lenses on a black camera vs. the black and chrome MX with a silver Limited. So far, I prefer black&chrome body + silver to black body + black, which I in turn prefer to black body + silver. Since I don't want to chrome part of my MZ-S, and I don't think I will want to chrome my istD when I get that, so it leaves the black body + black lens as the most pleasing option for me.

I don't agree with you there but I am thinking of bodies which are partly black and partly silver (eg K2). These look good with either black or silver lenses. The silver 43mm on a Z-1p looks a little ridiculous to me but it makes no difference when viewed from "my side of the camera". > In my opinion, black Limited lenses doesn't look more exclusive than an > A series lenses whereas silver Limiteds looks expensive.

The silver ones may only appear more durable because scratches won't show as obviously. A scratch on a black Limited will show the silver- coloured aluminium underneath so it'll stick out like a sore thumb. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/

I also suspect that silver Limiteds are more durable in finish. The thing I like the least about my 77 is the silver finish. It reminds me of a 1950's Contaflex lens. Not that there is anything wrong with 1950's Contaflex lenses, compared to other lenses of the same era, but the thing looks dated, and dated looks cheap. William Robb

Re: Help needed (longish)- Silver Limited on black body?
Oh yes! With the LX2000 the silver limited lenses might look great as well... but the black limited lenses are likely to look lovely on the *ist D ;-) The 31 is pretty close to a perfect normal lens on the D...

Here is a silver 77 on the LX. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/IMG_1342.jpg I am not enamoured of the looks, the manual focus feel is quite good, especially for an AF lens.
