Silver finish of the body is robust

Beautiful photo. What some would refer to as camera porn

OK then if it's visual you need, what choice would you make?

It's so you can profit from the fact that there are two versions, with one being sold worse than the other, so it will get offered at a better price.

At least, that's how I look at it. Tbh, I only have one silver lens, the DA 70, and I've got no silver bodies. I think the combination with a black body looks off, draws too much attention, so I only got black lenses later on, even though the silver versions were available for a better price now and then.

Beautiful set! An excellent illustration of the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words."
