Would anyone care to comment on the merits of current chrome vs black 
M lenses. The chrome are heavier by about 90 -100 g due to more brass 
than alloy in their construction, but aesthetics aside, is there any 
difference in mechanical stability at temperature extremes, or in 
durability? I would appreciate your thoughts on these or any other 
aspects. (Sorry if this topic has been well-trodden already, but I've 
not seen anything on it yet.)
TIA.
Nick.
