This has been talked about for a very long time! Totally understand your frustration though. Doesn't look like it should be that hard. Like others have already said, most of the time you are using too much pressure. To explain, that outer lens cover is very thin, and is very easily distorted, which causes it to resist turning. After you do get it off, you can see just how fragile it really is. Don't get frustrated and resort to pliers or anything like that. A joke was made one time that when you get tired of trying, let your wife do it! I'm not suggesting that is the right thing to say, but the point is most women would probably not have quite the grip as some men. Literally just lightly place you fingers around it and hold the camera with your other hand, then a little twist. The rubber bands, tape, etc. all do help spread out the load...................be patient, when you do finally get it off, and you will, you might put just a drop of light oil (sparingly) on those threads to help removing and installing in the future. |
