john_robinson7 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Would just like to know all your thoughts on the R9 color. Me personaly I prefer all black but what do you guys like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_.1 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Having seen both in person (and the silver), I'd pick black for sure. The R seems to lend itself to black well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostly sports Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Well, the color of the first one doesn't matter too much, because the next one you get will be the other color, so you can tell them apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_rory Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 This is a little like... "What colour should my second Rolls Royce be guys?" Or... "Can you recommend a trustworthy Bullion dealer please?" OK I will profess my complete 'pleb-ness' and admit I do not know the range of finishes available. I am so sorry I am not worthy!

donald_macklin Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 If I choose anthracite,will I be accepted as an official photographer of the coal miner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aric_rothman Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I think I'll wait for the R9 in bituminous finish, with matching coal-fired autowinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_aitken Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Would that be anthracite paint or anthracite chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_murphy8 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I had a black R8. Now I have an anthracite R9. I like the anthracite finish better. Definitely takes sharper photographs. Because the top of the R9 is magnesium, both the black and anthracite are 'painted'. No chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

working camera Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'm a failed geologist (that's why I'm a photographer) the anthracite finish is fake, it chips too easily. Don�t ask how I know this. Anybody wanna buy a *mint* Anthracite R9 can forward doctored pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert knapp md Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I have two black R8s but if I were to upgrade... I would go for the black R9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_r._fulton_jr. Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'm afraid the anthracite would clash with the Hermes MP. I'd go for black. :->) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob haight Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 The anthracite takes better pictures than the black. In tight situations, where everything is at risk, all, without exception, use their antracite camera over their black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
