Therefore, I think that, ~if~ the entire image of the 600/5.6 on the Pentax site were tinged with enough green to turn a truly white barrel to a pale mint green, the white parts of the lens would ~not~ still be white, and the silvery parts would ~not~ still be silvery. > In order to lay the thread to rest once and for all Nope - not gonna happen...
