:dunno:
a bit of a "duh" question, but i've been wondering about this for some time. canon L series is already marked with a red band around the lens, how come the longer ones are also white in colour? same thing with minolta G lenses, they all have the gold ring, but the newer long G lenses are white in colour...
is there any reason or history behind this? purely marketing gimmick?
maybe it's easier to show off a white lens. but why the long ones only?
i personally prefer black... not so attention grabbing...
how? anyone know why? :think:
