Quick question, I’ve been trying to get more information about my Hasselblad kit and I noticed that my chrome 80mm f2.8 Planar lens has a black focus scale marker ring. This is strange since all the Hasselblad lenses I’ve seen are either all chrome or all black.

I’m wondering if Hasselblad has ever made a chrome lens with black-colored hardware, and if not if there’s a reason why a previous owner would swap out the chrome one for a black one other then the previous one breaking.
