I had my first look at an LHSA "black paint" at PhotoExpo East last month. It seemed incredibly shiny and (I hate to say it) flashy. It also collected every finger print that touched it. So you can answer my question since I wanted to ask it of a black paint *user*. Does some of that shine wear off? (I know, I know, if I want the shine to wear off just get a regular black anodized model. I already have an M4 and an M6 classic is black chrome). thnx John Fulton Fort Worth > >John, I have kept the LHSA 0,72/0,85 with their original finders, but I did >convert my Millenium M6 to 0,58.
