LOL! I don't know about Black and White lenses. All mine are just black. However, I have seen a few white ones and even a gray one on occasion. :D

They are rare and usually very expensive. They need a very exotic kind of glass and special, hard to find expertise to make them. QA is a big expense too since so many get rejected for letting in the occasional stray ray of color light through. Many Leica, Zeiss, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, etc. lenses are the rejects from this QA process. I am guarding mine with my life. Actually, I probably put my lens and life at risk even posting here that I have one. I am such a dufus. :( But, the quality of B&W results just can't be matched with all the pedestrian color lenses that almost everyone else uses. It is just a big compromise to use color lenses for B&W and depending on other means to get rid of the color that was passed through the lens and pollutes the purity of the image.

Seems to me these last few entries should be in the "Jokes and Photo Phunnies" section of the forum.

However, it does seemed to have breathed some life into a forum that looked like it was on its way out!

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Dr. H who started this topic? The last record of his activity was mid Feb.

On a sunny day a man just must have an umbrella while riding his bike. Once the complexion is gone you just can't get it back. :) Taken with my super duper B&W lens. :)

Fab capture Henry! Must be quite tricky riding a bike like that, especially making hand signals :)
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

You often see people on rainy days riding a bike while holding an umbrella in their hand. I have even done it myself a time or two. :lol: But there are also brackets that can hold an umbrella on the handlebar and that is what this man has.
