Re: How does a WHITE 16mm lens look on a BLACK NX300?

Canon uses white on some of their lenses for heat reasons. Some of the elements in their lenses are more heat sensitive than others (fluoride I believe is the one). White lenses don't get as hot in the sun as black ones.

Samsung makes some lenses white for cosmetic reasons. Not sure if the 300 2.8 is white for heat reasons though. The white lenses don't sell as well as the black versions so you can usually get a nice discount on a white lens.

I wonder how making silver/brushed aluminum version would be received
