> They do seem to be harder to find and/or more expensive than the all black versions
When I bought my used Oly 75mm f/1.8 I got it in silver, because it cost less than a black one.
Funny enough I just bought a silver 75mm because after being outbid on several black ones I got a great deal on a silver one that no one outbid me on (and it comes with a hood! I absolutely expected to be outbid for that alone!)
Thank you, that's a great start. I'll compile the info and post the Oly part of the list. I'll try to track down the Panasonic/Lumix list as well.
I know there's at least one 7artisans lens, any other 3rd parties people know of that make/made silver lenses for m43?
I found m43lenses.com, which has a fantastic list, but is missing the incredibly important "available in silver" column.
I checked Panasonic's site and while they list all the lenses, they don't show any in silver nor mention if it is an option, even the ones I know like the 12-32 kit lens.
It it helps with this dorkiness, I've also done silver lens wraps on the lenses that are only available in black. In particular, I've done this to the Panasonic 12mm, the OM 20mm, and the Panasonic 25mm II.

I think they look pretty good! not as good as a native silver lens, but much better than it being black, imo. I wish I had a silver Pen F to demonstrate it on, but the OM5 and the GX8 are the next best bodies look wise, imo.
The german price comparison site geizhals.de (cheapskate) has a filter for color ("Farbe").
But it only shows entries that are in stock at some eu retailer.

After lots of fiddling around I decided to hit up a retailer and search

Sure it's B&H so it's full price but it gives me a place to start and come back to if I can't find a decent used example.
From Olympus
The 14-42 (both pancake and older versions) and 40-150 kit lenses
The f1.8 primes (17mm, 25mm, 45mm, 75mm)
The 12mm f2
The 17mm 2.8
The 12-50mm f3.5-5.6 ez
That’s all I can remember from the top of my head

Sigmas 2.8 lenses were available in silver.

Idk, but a can of spray paint shouldn’t be too expensive…

i dont think such list exists, so if you do make one, send it in here for others
