This issue of paint finish is interesting.  Does the paint chip off or just
wear from contact with your hands?

Certainly my 28mm and 90mm have lost quite a bit of paint, the 15mm, and
21mm haven't. Perhaps it's the different design, of perhaps the 15 and 21mm
barrels aren't brass.

The (silk screened?) Voigtlander logo on the lens caps seems to disappear
from all the lenses very easily too :-)

...CV products seem to automatically repell the paint from the barrel but
if
yu buy a lens to use...who cares
