Last weekend I took the kids to Clash at Clairemont, a "grind for the cause" event where skateboarders and bmx pros gather for charity. Guys like Tony Hawk were there, POD played, a good time was had by all.
We were getting autographs for the kids when I saw Andy Macdonald was there, big as life. Only I didn't have anything to get signed so in a flash of brilliance I asked him to sign my lens. And by flash of brilliance I mean episode of stupidity. He signed it all right... Looked real good, too.
POD hadn't played yet and I had to use the lens from fairly far away and even though I was being careful not to rub the autograph it still started smearing after an hour of heavy shooting.
So my question is, how can I protect the autograph on the lens but still be able to use it? I thought about a clear coat of laquer or something but not sure what it will do to the white paint or the sharpie ink.
Anyone got any experience with this? Wife already said I'm not getting another one.
