Ducati Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 help I dropped a Nikon Lens of mine whilst on holiday in the states and as a result the lens filter glass smashed but the main body seems ok. Problem is that the metal filter ring seems jammed in to the lens body and i cant remove it however hard i try....even a bit of magic wd40 lube wont shift it. Anyone know a good specialist Nikon service agent in BKK that might be able to take a look at this? I dont want a cowboy to use a wrench on it. The lens cost me 60k baht so it's worth salvaging...as i said, it still works ok, i just want to get this dam_n filter ring off the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabianfred Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) If the filter glass has broken...then the remaining threaded ring shouldn't be too strong.... I would grasp it firmly with a plier and twist...to distort and maybe snap the ring...this should also make it smaller so that it should just fall out of the threads without needing to unscrew it....destroying it shouldn't be of any concern.
