===As I recall, back in the "olden" days (i.e. the 70's), a black finished
camera was considered a "pro" rig while the chrome stuff was targeted at
consumers. The same camera painted black could fetch an additional $20
over a chrome body.====
I remember reading around that time that the black was Pro because
it didn't reflect the sun when stalking beasts. (Stealth).
Never mattered to me because I rarely stalked beasts.
The chrome does look more amateur and that is fine with me.
No one ever stole one of my OM's.
