All 5 of my lenes are black though. Although I love brass the extra with and perhaps extra money put me off. My wife has a chrome 50 new collapsable Elmar though but her body is also chrome. As it turns out I never borrow her lens so I never get that chrome lens on black body configuration. I guess I'll live! Should add up how much more weight those 5 lenses, 24 2.8, 35 f2, 50 F2, 90 2.8 and 135 3.4 would be if there were all chrome instead of black in my camera bag. Mark Rabiner
