Question about ’Pentax 100mm f2,8 WR’

Thor Gunderson · 03-11-2014, 12:33 AM

I am about to buy a used copy of the lens (locally in Denmark,Europe), but I have just recognized that the ‘WR’ logo is white instead ofblue?

Why is this so, and does it make it any different thanthe blue version?

Hope someone can help, Thor

That looks like a black and white photograph. Notice how the lettering on the distance scale isn't blue either.

There's only one version of this particular lens.
