Some of the most prized classic lenses made by Zeiss for Hasselblad were all silver, and many professionals use them on their black Hasselblads without being embarrassed.

Perhaps, since Olympus considers the OMD line a 'retro' style design, they have decided to offer the non-black version to appeal to that theme.

Yea .... and charge Zeiss like prices as well.

Makes me recall the first couple of paragraphs by Mark Pinder about Olympus on the LL
