DC> Apologies Frantisek,

No, do not apologise :) My post was so long anyway that it surpassed
the entire filter discussion in length, it was partly a joke (although
the arguments stand).

I have an old chrome Summicron 50, which I have only a black filter
for (plus a black metal hood). It sure looks interesting on a black
Leica... But I would prefer an all black version as well (or all
chrome). I think it was actually nicer with a silver filter (but the
filter isn't seen much because the hood covers it almost all the
time).

As somebody said, it could be possible to strip the chrome and have
the filter anodised black (or painted black, if it's brass) ;-)

Best regards,
