White L lenses in black? You in? (poll)

While shooting soccer this sunny day, I felt my 70-200 f2.8 lens and it was nice & cool. The 1D-II body, on the other hand was fairly warm.

I like the looks of black better but I'd stick with white for heat reasons.

How about you? If you could get those white L's in black, would you?

Sheesh, I can't spell. Mods, the title should have begun "White L ..." rather than "While L ..."

Can you correct?

My black Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 has never melted or caught fire yet...

Maybe they can make the black with a pink parasol attachment for use in the sun.

Haha... Funny idea.. However, valid one. I thought of it many times.
I would realy liked them in black!
Not coz I like black, but coz they're kinda like showing off in white...

me likey black ...less showy

White all the way.

White.

You can have about any color you want actually. LensCoats and other make covers in black and white and Camo.

If it was a purely aesthetic choice? Black.

The off-white paintjob is almost gaudy in my eyes.

Black only.

IMO... whether white or black... my 300 2.8 IS will still stick out...

How about a brushed/polished option?

Imagine a "raw" magnesium L. Of course it would be clear coated.

what do you wear when you shoot?

What I can't understand is that most photographers will choose a black camera body over a silver body because they look more "professional" and cool..

But if they have a choice with lenses they go for white because white looks more "professional"..

BTW,,all my lenses are black..
