[Leica] Stuck Heliopan Slim on my 70-180 APO

Rubber Glubs it is.  Makes sense.

Also, they strike terror into the hearts of any man who took a  
military physical.

Won't even need the tights.

Thanks for the tip, dude.

Put on rubber glubs.

You can unscrew the lid off of Superman with rubber glubs.

Also nobodies going to mess with ya.
Both Pink or Yellow seem to work the same.
As they need to match your tights.
