I remember with a mix of sadness and sympathy a relatively long thread sometime ago about the true colour of Pentax long teles. This was one of the times I thought about how far can some things go on a list, about sanity, etc...
Well, Mr. Reichmann, from Luminous Landscape, in his review of 67 400mm f4 lens, adds something to the very important debate: " When examined indoors the lens has a cream-coloured finish overall, with dark gray control rings. Attractive, in the Canon idiom, and appropriately coloured for a large lens, with the reasoning being that a light finish reduces the effect of heating within the lens on a sunny day. (Even Nikon has now taken to making beige lenses). But outdoors in bright sunlight the cream colour becomes a light fluorescent yellowish-green. Not really ugly, just weird. What was Pentax thinking of?" Regards Albano Obsesive, depressive, not necesarily sane. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
