That's not black. It's a camo pattern with too much dark green.

Yeah not black. Probably used for wildlife and camo paint/sleeves on wildlife lenses is a common practice.

I once saw a 100-400 being used on a 1D body in the opening montage of a documentary on snipers.

I'm 90 percent sure that's not factory canon black but rather painted on third party.

I like how it's all camo until you pull it out and then there is this noticable white part.
Reminds me of going bow hunting and having to take a leak. :)
