Silver 31s are like hen's teeth I know, but thought I'd ask! Mint or near mint, preferably boxed with pouch.
Cheers

Most of us who lusted after a FA 31 gave up on the idea of getting a silver one and opted for a black one.

It is probably more important to get a Made in Japan lens than to be worrying about colour.

I'm not convinced that there is any difference in results from a MIJ lens, though there probably is a slight difference in value. I will most likely end up with a black copy but I am lucky enough to have a silver K-5, silver 43mm and silver 77mm. It would be lovely to complete the set! Sorry if I seem a sad old git!
