My experience is just the contrary. Superglue makes the rubber stiff and
attacks the paint on the lens barrel. Besides, sometimes you want to remove
the rubber sleeve to get to the screws underneath, when servicing the lens.
Superglued rubber makes a mess of this. The worst thing you can do. Not
everything somebody puts on the Web is recommendable.
