Or better yet - your time and energy would be better spend taking more pictures...Is Elliot Erwitt wasting time and energy worrying about the brassing of his M3...;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of eric korenman Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 9:56 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] reblacken my lens? I know my time and energy would be better spent taking more pictures. But.. I love my 60 macro elmarit. It is my 'standard' R lens. The glass and workings are in wonderful shape, however, the barrel has lost most of its 'black'. The engraved numbers are very faded. Can I 're-blacken' the barrel myself? I seem to remember someone talking about re-coloring the engraved numbers as well. Lux et vanitas, Eric _________________________________________________________________ Get ready for school!
