Tacky. Look at the font used! Looks like the sub-$100 silver crap
that Tamron turned out in the 1980s. At least the L-glass doesn't
look like this:

Only Rick would worry about what the lens looks like. Real
photographers only bother looking at the results.

Just think of it. You have to use that product, get it close to your
face every time you use it, with that tacky, stenciled-on 1980s font
up close! If you can take images immune to that psychological
distraction, you are a great person.

And if, with repeated use, the lettering eventually wears off, you'd
complain about that, too.
