Subject: RE: My new black MX
Why is the black one (like my firts Pentax MX) so desireable?
It's thesame camera, isn't it?
And the chrome surface is much stronger and less liable to get scratches
etc.
The black one sure is pretty! Is that it?
I think your last sentence sums it up well.
I've owned 3 MX's now, 2 were chrome, and now the black one.
The black body is, I am pretty sure, enameled brass, while the chrome ones are actually plated aluminium.
Black cameras seem to age more gracefully.
