Seriously, I gaffer the buttons so that rain and dust wouldnt penetrate the buttons at the back.... at least gives me a piece of mind when using it in light rain. I wouldnt want to see a drop of rain disappear into any of the buttons.
i'm a visionsary....i like to constantly remind myself tt in photography, branding is not important...tt's y i gaffer the branding labels.... muahahha.....
Gafferers are actually a considerate lot of people for they take the pain to mummify to deny themselves the pleasure of the feel and touch of their precious equipment to preserve the pristine condition for the benefits of the future buyers.
