Build Qualityīoth electrical tape and gaffers tape are built pretty tough, but electrical is better and tougher to rip. The smoother finish adds to the matte look of the camera and blends in even better with the finish.
Electrical tape is a bit more sticky but has a smoother texture. In fact, my Leica CL has electrical tape on it. Any residue that is left can be easily wiped off with your finger or even a bit of isopropyl alcohol on a Q-Tip if you’re worried. It’s also used by photographers and in the years that have gone by, there have been more and more electrical tapes put out that don’t leave a whole lot of residue. It’s wrapped around itself on a spool to make it easier for a photographer to use it when needed. It’s nicely textured and has an adhesive that doesn’t leave residue. This is sort of the antithesis of what it’s supposed to be used for, but I was always sure I was safe. But in my case, I put red on my lenses to make it stand out even more. Lots of folks for example will use plain black gaffers tape. Years ago, I used to use it on my camera to differentiate in a group of cameras and lenses which were mine. Gaffers tape has been used by many countless photographers for many years. Yes, I’m doing a legitimate review on Gaffers Tape. Indeed, it’s true that photographers have used it over and over again for years for almost anything and everything. Just look at most Leica cameras and you’ll see gaffers tape on it.
The tape has helped with a multitude of situations: covering up logos to make their camera more low profile, keeping a battery in a camera because the camera’s battery door fell off and you don’t have the money to replace it, adding grip to a lens or camera, building a GoBo for a light, attaching a gel to a flash, securing a flash to an unconventional spot, etc. There’s absolutely no doubting that gaffers tape and electrical tape have been used by photographers for years now.
