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

I had the chance to buy a brand new 16mm lens (for my black NX300) for just over 100 euro+postage but it was only in white. I was wondering if anyone has this combo and how does it look? Hopefully it won't be too indecent-looking but I thought the price was too nice to ignore only for an aesthetic choice.

I agree

For that price I'd bite. I'm not a fan of white lenses but that is a killer price that's too good to pass up IMO. I wouldn't care about the color too much at that price.

Should look ok.  Canon users don't seem to be complaining.

My NX300 was Brown and I had a white 16mm lens. It definitely stuck out more than the black lenses, significantly so. I didn't care, and neither did anyone else. I think the white lens might actually match the black NX300 better than it did my brown one.

I have brown + white 16mm too. People like it. Some people think that it looks like a toy. I can post a picture later.

LOL!

Some do  I had the 70-200f4 nonIS and replaced it with the Tamron 70-300VC. The white lens just never grew on me, particularly for when I'm trying to get candid shots. People KNOW they have a camera pointed at them and they will consciously and/or subconsciously get tense.

I'll be curious to see pictures of it. Thanks

I ordered white it is cheaper than black.
I am also wondering about presence with NX30:)

But for 100 Euro only? Where did you buy it?

I bought it from eBay. Boxed and sealed with very recent receipt from a know shop. Since the seller often sells these lenses via eBay auctions, my guess is that it's some guy who works in store and can get huge discounts, so he buys them for himself and resells them on eBay. They usually reach expected prices but this time I managed to get one at that price, I guess a lot of people are already in holiday, so less competition on eBay auctions.

Thanks for info.

My probably is from shop's exposition but if 100% OK then why not to buy? (ca 125 Euro regular price ca 300!!!)

You know my country is a strange place where people earn 5 times less than people in western Europe  and pay more for the goods.

I had a white 16mm lens with my Galaxy NX and it looked ok, but in the end I sold it and got a black 20mm instead as I wanted all my lenses to be black! However for that price I'd probably still go for it.

It should be "brand new unopened", I'll let you know once I receive it. To be precise it costed 111+12 shipping so 123 euro total (I guess that's about 140 USD)

It will look fantastic . I buy all my lenses that are pancake style in white. The longer lens looks a bit like a canon user.....which i used to be . The nx1 looks lovely with a 16mm. It is only a colour.

ops, mine isn't brown... I wanted brown, but found only black

cute, don't you think?

White lenses are cheaper, it was a no brain decision. (No, I wouldn't buy a pink one =P)

That looks way better than I imagined! Thanks!!!

I would buy a pink 50-150 S for half of the prize.

Black&white together  looks very nice for me.

Last time I like also cars in B&W style.
