I'm looking at buying a second hand FUJINON XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR. It appears to be in good shape, but there's one problem I see with it: it's got a silver "XF ZOOM' badge. All of the models I've looked at to date have a red badge. I'm not so much concerned about fashion as I am legitimacy and/or age. Was there an older or different version of the lens with a silver badge? Or is there a risk this is a counterfeit? Anyone have any insight?

Not once have I ever seen anything but a red badge. To the point where I'm pretty sure that Fuji actually refers to them as the red badge zooms. I'd be very weary of that.
