Also of note: does not ship to the United States.

I wonder why GREEN? I can see camouflage or white or even black, but bright green? Lol.

Wow, big impressive lens, but looks like it has been repainted to UncleVanyas favorite color (kidding UncleVanya)

That would be one to take out in public and get comments (and not just for its size)!

Lol. Yes. It was a custom job for me. I have a bright green k3-mk7 it mounts to. (Not!)

RIght!? I think I would have worn the battle scars proudly of the original chipped finish and just used it like I stole it before attempting such a crazy thing.

...And since I've done A LOT of paint work in another life, you have to wonder if any overspray got inside of anything critical. I've seen droplets of overspray hang in the air and still be viable to attach depending on the speed of the thinner, and have that overspray get in through the tiniest of seams or openings. God forbid it was a zoom, but I'd wager even turning the focus ring at the wrong moment could pull some inside while spraying.

...And even with all that said, I'd still be tempted at that price if it was local and I could eyeball it before buying* it, heh heh.

*I'd buy one of those padded camouflage wraps to hide that hideous green so fast your head would spin. LOL!
