Well just wanted to add some personalization to my 17-55 since its not a L lens i wanted it to still feel special lol.

Just picked up some LiveStrong / Rubber WristBands and put them on my lens' they don't at all effect my shots and a lil added benefit of reducing lens creep.

I guess if you positioned the band to overlap the lens barrel and the zoom ring.

my lens doesn't creep and is happy with its ring color. ;)
