tommy_baker Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Is the lens in this pic (with the M3) got a black chrome focusing ring, or black paint on chrome, or black paint on brass focusing ring? -- looks like black anodised, with the chrome showing thru underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_woo3 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Just check the Leica Pocket Book. It should be black anodised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgpinc Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 >>Gil - Have you black taped the whole camera?<< Yes I've had black taped M2 & M3 for over 30 years. Black photography masking tape. Dulls down and protects the finish. Have to redo it after a cla. Currently use them as backup for black M6 Classic that was recently at DAG for what else a meter fix. Good luck.
