Mine's in chrome and my first impression is that this is a fantastically beautiful lens. Haven't taken any pictures yet, but from a aesthetic standpoint, it just looks great. The chrome barrel contrasting with the black hood and focus tab just look stunning! On my chrome M6TTL with the black finder, I must say it looks gorgeous. I know how a lens looks isn't really supposed to count, but.. Hey! it makes me happy just looking at the thing! Even though the silver lens is heavy (415g in the spec sheet) it balances nicely on the camera. The only thing that I'll have to get used to is the focus ring is not ribbed and rather slippery. I'll have to use the focus tab soley. Jonathan Lee
