I was wondering if someone could help me in my idea: I own the new 35mm summicron asph and found a vented lens shade that fit on it, but it is, as usual, black on its outer side. I would like to know if someone has ever silver chromed this kind of piece, or if someone know where I could have this done, all advice welcome. I'm searching real silver-chroming, not paint it in silver, this is quite different ;-). I also know ther is some differences and incompatibilities between the metal and the type of chroming (explaining so the difference of wheigt between the black and silver optics), is it possible to overcome this?
