<strong>Cool stuff Friday – Customization is fun!


</strong>I’d really like my 40mm Pancake to look like a real pancake. Maybe these folks will be able to hook us up soon. PimpYourCam.com initially started a little while ago showing off some customized Nikon gear, they wanted to let us know they do Canon as well.</p>
<p><strong>Photography is twice as much fun with PimpYourCam.com!</strong></p>

Invest your money in high quality lenses and not for the look.

Seem people already have all the lenses they want.

 

[GEEo]

Makes the Camera and the lens look cheap IMHO.

Only if I can make a Nikon look like a Canon.........

How to de-value your lenses.

Only if I can make a Nikon look like a Canon.........

Some red pinstriping and white spray paint.

Change silver/red accents to gold. That'll be enough to fool anyone that doesn't spend too much time here or at dpreviews.

800 Euros to do a body, 600 for a small lens and 700 for a large lens?!?

Pop quiz - who's been smoking the most crack? The PimpYouCam guys or their clients?

My guess - both in equal measure.

I've wasted some money in my time but not on crap like this.

 

[Razor2012]

It's just about personalization guys. Nothing different from putting camo on your hunting gear, spiffing up your xBox or flaming your car. It's there if you want it...not any different from getting a tattoo.

 

[roumin]

gosh, I get way too much attention as is with out any modification - no thanks!

since we're all smoking skinny cigarettes here, I'll wait for the invisiable treatment to become available ;D ;D ;D

 

[iso79]

Only Nikon shooters would do this.

 

[iaind]

It's a security measure. No self respecting thief would be seen dead with one.
Resale value plummets after treatment

 

[Chewy734]

Why wouldn't you get something more functional for a fraction of the price? Like lenscoat?

 

[DzPhotography]

For what that costs I'd rather buy another lens...or two... ???

All you need to do is lower DR, higher banding, lower resolution, and higher pricing.
