Just found a new lens to add to the ugly list

I like it!
Looks like a piece of industrial safety equipment.
Needs a camera to match.

This could be the perfect camera for this lens: https://www.slashgear.com/pentax-k-r-bonnie-pink-model-dslr-limited-edition-limited-taste-04130937/

I like it, it's got a 70s retro thing going on.

I'd buy it... for $20...

It looks a lot better than the fake-gold Leica-imitations on ebay!

Won't go on Pentax, needs mirrorless.
An orange and black Sony maybe.

Honestly, that color combo looks very good especially in a well done baked enamel.

I don't know why cameras need to be black.

Engineering field equipment, such as surveyors instruments, are usually in a high visibility color - commonly yellow, but also orange, red, light green, etc.

Because manufacturers, many buyers and especially reviewers are in many respects very conservative.

Behold in the OP how MF lenses, in general, will have to appear before attracting the attention of Gen Z and even some Millennials.

It might also esthetically fit a Nikonos underwater camera!

underwater cameras do have their own great esthetics!

I find this Industar pretty cool for people who like this kind of style. The paint job looks very good and precise. But the price, naturely...
As said upper, I prefer this kind of job, than fake gold/uber polished super shiny lenses.
