I have always wondered how/why Leica calls it "black chrome" which makes no sense at all. I guess something must have gotten lost in translation.

Black chrome is a different finish to black anodised (the former being more matte). Edited December 29, 2021 by BlueIn2Red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmm...yes, those are the finer details of Leica's bizarre nomenclature. I get that but to my mind, chrome is shiny, silver, metallic stuff. Chrome is definitely not black. Or, have I got something muddled up (again)? Edited December 30, 2021 by BradS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome plating can be black, the black is achieved in alloying other metals with the chromium, but it is the same process as silver coloured chrome plating. Anodising is a different process so instead of laying down an extra coating of metal it oxidises the base metal itself. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kivis Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share #15 Posted December 31, 2021 Ok so which is the black M-A, black chrome or black anodized? And how does this effect the brass underneath? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueIn2Red Posted December 31, 2021 Share #16 Posted December 31, 2021 The M-A is black chrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted January 1, 2022 Share #18 Posted January 1, 2022 Will post mine when I’m back from holidays. I have all lways preferred how black chrome subtly ‘silvers’ with wear rather than black paint ‘brassing’, a look which has never been to my liking.
