richard_cannon1 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I am looking to buy a 70-200f4 and saw one today. The body was quite grey which I was led to believe that the l lenses are all white. could someone tell me if this is the correct colour of the Uk spec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjoseph Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yes thats about right. It shouldnt be "grey" per se, but more like an off white color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick tom Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 My lens is grey...and I live in the US...but mine was an import...on the website...it looks kind of white...but if you consider the background as white...then it really doesn't look white...

mark_goody Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 > My lens is grey...and I live in the US...but mine was an import... A 'grey import' then? :-D Seriously, they get called white, but it is more of a light grey colour. At least, the ones I've used have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureen_m Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Depending on the light, mine looks to be somewhere between beige and light gray. A lens that is actually white would <i>really</i> draw attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_dunn2 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 <p>The colour of my 300mm f/4L IS USM is sort of an off-gray; a bit gray, a bit beige. All of the other "white" L lenses I've seen have also been off-gray, and while I haven't tried colour matching them :-), I believe they're all about the same.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illusions photo art studio Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Perhaps that's the reason why they call it "Grey Market" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
