So that the sun will reflect off it and blind you as you look through the viewfinder?;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Grégoire Vandenschrick Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 11:06 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] silver-chroming parts, how, where, possible? Hi, I recently saw the new titanium line, and realized the vented lens shade for the 35mm was also titanised. 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?
