Black Is Beautiful

So often when you see an event that makes a good photo opportunity, you see a host of off-white lenses.

I know that this light coating has practical purposes, but some seem to also regard it as a status symbol. After all, it is often an indication of an expensive lens. (Not always, though: I briefly owned a ridiculously cheap off-white long zoom lens, but it was so slow in focusing that I sold it.)

All my current lenses are black. Even the one and only Canon L lens I own (200mm 2.8 Mk I) is black. Do I appreciate them less because of it? No. In fact, I like them for not being so conspicuous.

I like all my lenses. All of them are black. Black is beautiful!

Just wanted you to know that.

P.S. See, Jas, I used "lenses"! Smile

All of my favourite lenses are black. Even the ones that are still on my wish list are black! Smile
