That lens gasket looks very polished, but way too complicated for me! I'm currently doing this: ----------- I can swap out a lens in seconds for replacement or cleaning. ---------- Edited February 19, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus[TK] Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Dean, That is a nice solution. I'm wondering how long those clips will last under pressure. I use those kind of clips to hang up photos on my cube at work. And ever so often the back snaps loose and goes flying. It would suck for that to happen inside a bucket.... trooper down!

Ed, I can't help but laugh my a$$ off at that thought!!! I mean, I have seen lots of "wardrobe malfunctions" during troops (and had them happen to me too), but the thought of a costume failure that is totally unseen by anyone just has me roflmao!!!
