This was featured on NikonRumors as well. Apparently, long before I got into DSLRs, Nikon had White lenses. They also had silver ones at one point to.

As far as custom paint jobs go, didn't the shot below get posted here some time back?

As I recall the guy did all the work himself...

I like these better than the white ones. I think Camo would be better.

That was another guy I believe. His are more camo colored. I like them both honestly.
Then again, I'm the guy who can't keep a car or truck stock looking more than a few days

WHAT A DIFFERENT LOOK? CHECK OUT LENS SKIN @ B & H. lens skins| B&H Photo Video

Whatever for? If I had wanted a Canon I would have gotten a Canon!
Although Camo would be cool.

I could understand camouflage, but the others I'm not so sure about. Although if they had hello kitty skins I think my wife would put that on her lenses, hehe.

NO WAY! I like my black lenses and black camera body. When I used film cameras, when the option was available, I always opted for the black body vs the chrome. I just think it is much more elegant.

If you want to see an original white nikkor lens, search for the AF-D 300mm f2.8 D II ED lens. No fancy paint job here. White is how they came out of the factory.

White looks kinda tacky to me and I think we would be cleaning them more often.

I guy I know bought a canon so he could buy the white lens, has it 4 years and still no white lens.

Well, they are pretty expensive. Actually, the Nikon "white" lenses are actually a light grey.

There's an original white 70-200 2.8 as well. I was tempted at one point to get one just because it would confuse people to think I had a Canon, .

That's funny. I use a big Canon bag for my gear. That way its less likely to get stolen.....
