Good grief!! You ain't nevah lyin'!!!Nikkors have always had decade-appropriate styling, and looked pretty good for their era of production. The lenses I thought were always hideous were the East German "zebra" lenses.

You wanna' talk ugly lenses? Now THOSE were ugly lenses!
At least Nikon knows how to design a lens...
Canon has to paint their lenses white to reflect heat so they don't get too hot. The Fluorite lens elements Canon uses are affected by heat and it will degrade quality.
Nikon's own advertising even makes fun of it..
"While the optical properties of this new glass closely resemble those of fluorite, Super ED glass is more resilient to rapid temperature changes (thermal shock) and not as susceptible to cracking as the crystal structure of fluorite. Super ED glass also boasts a higher refractive index than fluorite, making it highly capable of correcting aberrations other than chromatic aberration"
Ever wonder why NASA uses Nikon?

Canon L lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaLarger sized L-lenses, such as the 70–200 mm and 100–400 mm zooms and longer focal length primes (300 mm+), usually have an off-white barrel (sometimes referred to as the color "putty") to reduce heat absorption under the sun that may otherwise affect the performance of the lens
The white as heat deflector line is utter rubbish. The US military has tested many paint finishes, and as far as heat deflection, white paint offers little advantage over any other color. Like so much utter crap, Wikipedia perpetuates old folk tales in many,many areas. It's surprising that people do not even understand "historical" truth that's only 40 years old, and instead re-spew garbage. But then, anybody can edit a Wikipedia entry.
