I am not certain, but I think that they were made in chrome only. As far as I remember, they were initially priced a tad higher than the corresponding lenses in M mount but by the time I bought mine they were being unloaded at sale prices at Oehling Foto in Germany. Aside from the screw mount (my lens came with the M adapter), these lenses are identical to their M equivalents. Nathan Greg J.
