Alright, we're settling a lens debate here.

Now, you're judging the lenses solely on badassness of the PAINT JOB, not the lens's performance.

So, which is more badass? The red on black, or the red on white?

I think the red on black is way more bad ass that the red on white. It just seems to pop better on the black, but that's just one fellow's opinion.

There's a red ring on these lenses?


people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

I voted before reading that we were voting on a color scheme,..

to me Telephotos are "Bad ass" and wides are something else all together. So I voted for the Tele.

Ooooo, we're running neck and neck, I see. I just cast a vote for red on cream since those lenses are so bright and pretty. :lol:

Red on black = bad a$$. White and red just reminds me a of old Granada driven by a old lady to church on Sunday. ;):)

White is just too virginal, and pure... plus when mixed, they make pink... not bad ass at all.

red and black are the colours of blood and night... when mixed, it's like a DARK red... pretty bad ass if you ask me.

Wow has it really come to asking which looks better red on black or red on white or could it be black on red and white on red. I voted for black on red.
