Protecting your new retrofitted heads
What are guys doing/using to protect your outer lens/housing on a fresh retrofit? Given the expense, I'd like to keep them as new looking/functioning as possible.

I believe Bil will apply the clear plastic cover over them for a small fee. Of course you could purchase the same protection and apply it yourself.

Like Mah said, get the Clear Rubberish Film to protect them! Worth the peace of mind if nothing else!

Thanks Franchi.... that is what I was looking for - a name!
I did reach out to Bil - maybe I asked the wrong question, but it was my understanding he does not put a film on.
Essentially, I want to protect this significant investment and preserve the beauty as long as possible.

I shipped it to Bil and he applied it for me. That was over a year ago, so maybe he isn't do that anymore; but I think it's more likely that he thought you were asking if you could buy it from him and have it applied or something.

It's not a bad idea to apply the vinyl bra type material. You don't want to go too thick of a material though, as that would decrease the performance of the lighting. Although I am a detail expert, I am not experienced at applying the vinyl clear bra films. Yours were a one time deal benchwarmer4203.
At this point, I'm leaving the protective films off of my services provided.

Just as a side note, my covers are holding up well after a very harsh winter.

On my Nikon lenses, I use a myriad of filters and in all cases, the optics are specified very clearly - which is important given I sell my art.
Finding the right protection has been a bit frustrating....
