Silver or Black for FA Limiteds

**jatrax** · 02-29-2016, 07:28 PM

So what is your preference? I don't care whether you own them or just want them, what color do you want?

I would be happy to have either

One set of each.

Black for me to match the camera body I have (black)

I have a 31mm ltd in black color, but think a silver is cooler.
It just looks more LIMITED EDITION to me, just like theirs limited silvered cameras.

I don't particularly care for silver lenses on black bodies, though I think that silver bodies accommodate either lens color quite well.

Just my taste.

If you plan on getting a limited edition silver K-1 when it comes you'll need the silver FA limiteds

**ramseybuckeye** · 03-01-2016, 03:06 PM

I do have a silver DA 15 Ltd and it looks really good on the Red K-50. I was always intrigued by the gun metal color, what looks best with that?

Love the 31 in black, the 43 in silver, and the 77 in black. Cause that is what I have! Must say that I get more inquiries about the silver 43.

I have the gunmetal K3 with the silver 21 - almost permanently attached - I like it - then DCShooter made my M40 into silver with red aperture ring to match - so I'm supporting silver. DA70 is black which is also fine.

Yep. You have good taste in colors.

I prefer Black because camera body is often black

I'm still looking for a MIJ silver 31 to complete my set....

Having owned both a Silver and Black FA43, I prefer the black as it matches the more modern black bodies:

I have a black 31 and silver 43 and 77. The bodies up to now have been OK with silver lenses, but the K-1 might be a bit much. We'll see.
