OK so I got board one day a few years back and tried to get some custom graphics for my 70-200, ended up being too hard.

Then the other day I realised I now had the facilities to do the work my self care of my wife's scrapbooking Cricut machine :D

Grabbed some yellow and red sign writers vinyl scraps threw some graphics together, cut and stuck, here is the result!

I do have two hoods for this lens in the event I don't want to stand out as much!

No this serves no higher purpose, does not make my lens faster or sharper, nor does it improve my photography, but it is a great talking point!

It reminds me of a Ford Pinto I saw years ago that had the flames going out the back, then again, the Pinto was known to go up in flames with rear impact.
