A Pea on My Lens?

I'll stick with my L lenses. I'll leave pea lenses to the vegetarians.

You are going to stick a hunk of meat to your L lens?

L lenses are all meat...the potatoes and gravy are in the other lenses.

I suspect Belmondo is into L-glutamine......the only real food supplement for an athlete !
(Note to Conduit, DavidEB and others similarly gifted googgle linguists....."L-glutamine" is not "Love of gluteus".)

I thought the L was for lasagne!????

I might have been doing things wrong for a while.

I’ll start a new thread, "How do I clean lasagne off my front element".

Now if you'd have just used a protective filter the lasagne wouldn't have been a problem...

Here we go...can't put down a good lens(e), eh Lester ?
So, being and engineer and all that, let us take a closer look at this phenomenon. One pee makes no difference, right ?
How about 3 pees ? Nothing ?
How's 5 pees ?
Let us go to 10 pees ? See nothing yet ?
Now, a really bad one.....15 pees ! Ooops.....that's no good, the image is all blurry !

So, what do we have here? Some kind of an optical step function ? No effect up to 14 pees. However, the 15th pee abruptly turns the image fecal ?

Way too much potty talk, Pet. Why are you wanting to do this to you beloved Lenses anyway??? Did Condy put you up to it?

Well, you are onto me, Turnerdadze, gotta be careful with my homophones when you are around.
(A note to our trusty googgle linguists Canondyke and DavidEB ....."homophone " and "homophobe" have different etimologies)

Sort of like "etimology" and "entomology"?

Sorry if I'm bugging you. (Not buggering!)

If you really need that kind of attention I am sure there is someone in town who can help you.

My word this thread deteriorated fast.

'My word this thread deteriorated fast.'

and yet the lowest is to come...

I would never pee on my lens.

Apparently if you do pee on your lens, it’s a good idea to clean the electrical contacts with a pencil eraser.

Another top tip!.

At this point, I feel obliged to intercede as this discussion has completely degenerated to an unacceptable point.

I feel the need to point out the pea and pee are quite different things, and their effect on optics would be decidedly different, not to mention their likely manner of delivery.

First, pea is a legume. Pee is not. Peas can be made into a tasty soup. Pee-----well, we don't really want to go there. Peas are produced by farmers, but so is pee. Pee is often a by-product of beer consumption. Peas are not, although pea farmers who drink a lot of beer will usually produce less peas and more pee.

I hope I've cleared that up for you all.

Thank you Thomas for pulling us out of the manure pit back into the light of normalcy.
