Duct tape-magic invention Share your applications

I have just used duct tape to save myself a few dollars. I neede a focus gear for my Canon 100mm non IS. They are available online, but due to our weak currency and high shipping costs I needed to look for alternatives. I have sent the dimensions to a friend to design and print a gear for me, but that will take too long and I have a trip planned. I do have a zoom gear for a Canon 10-20 but the tube is too short. After a real "lightbulb" moment I decided to try the gear I have and stick it to the lens with ducttape, and voila! A working solution!

Can you note your materials and step process?

It do the same to use my Samyang 8mm fisheye underwater. I use

a standard zoom ring to change the manual aperture.

No duct-tape, but window seal to make a custom adapter.

I did the same with a Tokina 10-17 and an x1.4 extender.
