It's chrome, in clean shape and looks like it'd be easy to take apart and clean. I also have a Bausch & Lomb 3" f2 Anastigmat. Its a small uncoated 4 element lens that is nice and contrasty in good light and it was easy to clean also as it didn't even need a spanner to take apart. Trouble though is its as heavy as my 90 f2 Summicron! I need a small light-weight 90 for hiking. Although my 15 CV lens is great, I'd rather have Leica glass than off-brand stuff. Yet, the 90 CV 3.5 Apo-Lanthar is about the size and length I need! The Noctilux has been an amazing lens. I photographed some Pontiac cars at a dealership at night that were beautiful. The person who received the photos were amazed such a thing could be done without strobes. People who talk about the lens vignetting, probably just aren't the one's who are out using it. The vignetting rarely is a problem and hardly ever noticed in normal photography. No one has complained so far. It is truly the most amazinfg lens that I have ver used.
