Better to confirm with the seller on the color of everything, including scope, mount, tripod, counter-weight etc. I just received a green EM-11 with dark blue tripod head and counter-weight...

The problem is I already told the dealer that I'd like to buy old green ones but they still shipped new blue ones to me. If you need a replacement, you need to pay the shipping yourself.

BTW I placed my order before Tak had that announcement.

Chances are the dealer couldn't get the old colour scheme items in stock as Takahashi is no longer making them.
