Re: EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM?

I seriously doubt that someone has changed the ring on that lens. It is probably just a slightly different shade of black that is exaggerated under certain lighting conditions.

Take a look at the B&H Photo website. It's not black either:

They're supposed to be dark grey, with a matte finish. That thing looks strange
