So I received my Silver KP today...to go along with my Silver 31 and 77mm LTDs

In the mail I have a Silver DA 21mm LTD to complete my travel kit.
And to round out the family, I will be getting my K50mm f1.2 silvered (I don't want it to get lonely

)

The silver KP + 77mm is definitely the most gorgeous combo I personally have owned

Looks sharp to me. I went the black route to match my black DA Limiteds. I really am digging the silver on silver.

I love the silver but when I built my KP kit on Adorama the Black 20-40mm was the only one available for a discount and I snagged it at $600. I would have had to pay $100 more for the silver. Having seen the them together today (it just arrived less than an hour ago) I say it looks pretty good. You have an excellent looking kit.

I am not a fan of silver lenses on black cameras...but I think black lenses on silver cameras look just fine

I think it works OK because of the black grip and rubber.

looks good...but what i really want to know is how is that domke shoulder bag working out...thinking about snagging one...

I have nothing but great things to say about it! It is definitely very high quality...the zipper is nice and chunky, the stitching is great, the strap has a nice tackyness to keep it from sliding off your shoulder.
I have had it for about 5 years now and not even a loose thread. Just a very simple, durable piece.

Tasty combination! You caved

Just stunning.

I've not met you, Cali, but I imagine you also drive a pink Cadillac and are surrounded by a bevy of beauties.

I couldn't help myself...I am weak!
My silver 31 and 77 needed a silver camera. I blame them

(yes, I am blaming inanimate objects for my spending lol)

Cool.... now a silver 43 would round things out nicely! I use the same bag with a lens on the camera and two lenses on a double end mount cap thing, so store as one longer unit.... all 20/31/43/50/77 can fit this way. A F*300/4,5 fits but limits things to carrying only two lenses.... however the domke j-5xc allows one to have four primes and the 300 along for the ride (my OS travel kit). Anyway.... have fun!
