Gaffer Tape: Protecting Your Lens from Abuse

Gaffer tapes is a strong and tough medium made out of cotton cloth. Gaffers tape generally costs 2 to 3 times the amount of your average duct tape. One of the main benefits of gaffer tapes would be it does not leave behind and sticky residue once on the surface where it was applied.

A close friend of mine which is also coincidentally a reseller of such tapes here in Malaysia approached me about the cool benefits of gaffer tapes which you can use to protect your lenses and also concealing your camera brands for safety reasons especially during travel. Check out his post where he provides a step by step guide to mask and protect your lens using gaffer tapes.
