Default Always wear protection!

Bogen gaffer tape gotten from rebbot's MO here, after one whole day of CUT & PASTE, wasting almost the equal amount of tape as those on the lens, it's done!

Offering gaffer service now! Over HERE

Dare not go out with this lens from now onwards. Kinda exposed...

Hey dude, better not show it on public..
if the security suspect you bring weapon how??

I believe u oso dun wan to take off the gaffer, you spend your exam preparation time doing it.. (whoa.. exams too easy for you ah?? )

so better give your lens to me lah..



btw, i'm going out this wednesday to relieve the stress. can borrow your lens or not? or maybe u dun care abt exam and wanna join me going out to city?

Hmm... with airport security so tight nowadays, you might not want to chance bringing it overseas, might be put through 100% check when they see this!

Wow! Really COOL!!!

But I would prefer to have the "VR" sign & the "Nikon ED" sign covered as well.

This is not only to camo against birds but against those prying eyes too.


Somehow the forest camo pattern matches SAF no 4 perfectly well.

How you cut until so accurate?

And for the cutouts - i hope you didn't use a penknife to cut when the tape was on the lens - otherwise you might be the unintentional victim of your own gmask fiasco!
