In depth unboxing of the Olympus 45mm lens hood
9

I thought I'd share my thoughts on the box for the lens hood shown above. I really think it's just as important (if not more so) than watching GX7 unboxings and the like.

Good detail, quite thorough, but a bit disappointed you didn't discuss the wrapper around that thing (you know, whatever) that was inside the box.  Was it recycled plastic?  Was it child safe?  Could one keep a tropical fish in it?

Just a few of the many facets that might have been explored.  Perhaps in a sequel.

Well done !

Unfortunately the irony will be lost on some of our fellow forummers

Love the deadpan dialog.

Only FF lens wrappers can be used to store tropical fish.

M4/3 lenses are only good for tadpoles.
