Subject: [Leica] Black Wetzlar 90mm Elmarit

I have a black chrome Wetzlar 90mm Elmarit-M (s/n 2304440) that's simply
gorgeous.  The black chrome seems or much better quality than that on any of
my other black lenses.  This is the original 5 element Elmarit but I seldom
see or hear of black chrome examples of this lens.

Is this lens fairly rare?

I treat it as reverently as my M3 (s/n 1129303) which I believe is one of
the last to be made.
