I remember reading a review on these years ago. The point that struck me was
that the author suggested having the lens painted brght orange or white. It
seems that his profession placed him on battle fields where the Novaflex he
used looked remarkably similiar to a then common anti-tank weapon. He was
always afraid of being mistaken for a combatant when using this lens.

Probably nothing to worry about now.
