Please.... next thing we know (as if we do not have a million too many already) we will have a new 'reality show' pimp my lens...

PS Along the same lines, here in the US every other show seems to be an 'elimination fest' like Survivor but for chefs, dancers, singers, and nearly any group that can consist of 5 or more. I vote we have a show where the PRODUCERS of such shows compete to see who can hang on to their heads until the final? The loser every week would be 'chopped'.. at their NECK! That I'd watch....

Not enough gold - the rubber grips detract from it.
Anyway, gold is so passe and tacky - it needs to be platinum.

Gold plating is not very complicated or difficult. The wooden case is a nice touch, but I wouldn't use that cheap import box unless it at least had quality dovetails instead of those butt joints.
Hanimex? What for? Proof of concept? Now if someone were to gold plate an expensive Zeiss or APO-Lanthar or Leica. Both red and white gold in pattern, nicely chased...

Having both lenses but not gold plated I can vouch for the optics.
Now where's my can of gold paint so I can increase their value? |
