I don't know if any of you have this level of immaturity but this is a fun way to get your lens to look like an L series lens to other photographers.
Step 1:
Choose a lens you want to "L-ify". Here we see the Canon EFS 18-55mm kit lens.
step 2:
Find a rubber band that fits securely around the lens.
Step 3:
Put the rubber band around something with a similar diameter as your lens.
Step 4:
With a permanent red marker, place the marker tip on the rubber band and begin rotating the object the band is placed on. Give the band about 3 or 4 minutes to dry. Repeat for other side. I find Prismacolor's crimson red chisel tipped maker works nicely.
Step 5:
Using a fine part of the marker, do the top and bottom on the rubber band.
Step: 6
After giving the band drying time. Place the band at the end of your lens and vuala! A Canon "L-Series" lens. Behold the EFS-18-55 f/3.5-f/4 L
I added a UV filter too keep the band from going behind the bayonet hood mount. Good for head on views.
Later I'll try and think of a way to add distance scales, and make your telephoto white. (just kidding, but who knows)
