Got an interesting pair in today from eBay- a XS Plasma that seem near X Metal dark (with free junk lenses and rubbers!)
At first thought it was a clever fake, but seems to match all legit. It does has a SKU faintly of OO6011-04 for Plasma.
Compared it to another XS Plasma and noticeably darker.
Compared it to two other X-Metals (....don’t have a XS X Metal yet) and noticeably lighter.
I will dissemble and Ultrasonic clean it (it is filthy), see if anything changes.
Is this is a normal oxidation?
Normal color variation?
Something else?
