20110404 - Fresh Fairy Fitted

The lens-fairy fell out of my 24-105 lens at the London PBase meet! But fear not, interviews were held and a new fairy appointed, then it was off to the lens-hospital to have her installed.
At first glance she seems every bit as capable as the old one :o)


nb. As piccy setups go, this was v v v v difficult! Fairies are very elusive, especially lens-fairies!

Love the story, the bit of whimsy and the result. Very creative. Awesome how you have the faery repeated. Really unique and great shot. V

Glad Mr Lens is OK now...think you need to give the lens a good clean though - there's some green stuff on the front!!
