With the added resistance from the gasket? I'd like more info too before pledging anything. It won't be very convenient if the donut keeps popping off by itself, I might as well just use a rubber band in that case. That said it is a good idea. Although the rest of the lens will remain unsealed so its at best an emergency measure or just for dust prevention. -Tom

Not sure what your break even point is, and what the net is per ring anyway, but compared to other kickstarter projects it just feels like something is missing there. Yes I know you can just contribute in increments of $20, but you can also add other ways to increase funding via different pricing structures. 60D | Canon 17-55 f/2.8 | Canon 85 f/1.8 | Sigma 50mm f/1.4| Sigma 30mm f/1.4 | Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 | Canon 55-250mm

You need this. This thing will blow up if you make a red version. People are just that crazy. (Just make sure the reds match, or else you'll have a !#(@-storm on your hands).
