Shoe polish? Stove black? Black tape? 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...;-)

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
