Anybody have any ideas how to get my CPL Filter off my Lens? I've tried gently screwing the Filter off.... Both Clockwise and Counter Clockwise.

It should unscrew in the counter clockwise direction. Try tapping the filter gently with a wooden spoon or something like that to break it free.

Counter clockwise is the correct way to remove the filter. I would stop into a camera shop and let them look at it. They may have better insight by having it in their hands.

And of course, be sure that you are turning the inner ring - the outer one is designed to turn freely.

Above answers look good. Generally no, but..... A filter should be in a mount that is screwed into the lens, and the front of the mount should have the same thread as the lens so that accessories can be screwed into the filter mount in exactly the same way they would be screwed into the lens. You have to check your filter to see what, if any threads it has on the front. In any event, you can probably find an alternate way to mount the light.

I have had this problem. Very gently wiggling the lens seems to retract the lens, with no observable effect, at least in my case. But do so at your own risk! This camera has become useless to me for a different reason -- dust has collected on the lens inside the camera, with no obvious way to open the camera to clean it. I get very bad blotches on my photos, especially when using the zoom.

Short answer; It does NOT have threads to screw on a filter.To put a filter on/in front of, you would need a different (suggest) holder apart from the lens, that would accept filter plates to slide in/out.

Dear customer:The filter must be threaded on. Does your lens accept filters? If it does this filter will thread on to a 49mm thread.

How do you pull them out? It seems like you would need super small tweezers or something but how do you do it without damaging the lens itself?

Nikon tells me the P80 is NOT really "threaded" with a working thread, just kind of cosmetically cut to look that way-----after looking at the P80 "Threads" under a big magnifying glass, my God, I believe they are correct---It is not a thread---very disappointing to me---somehow I feel better when a lens is protected with a filter

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

Take off the lens, put your thumbs on both sides of the rx frame and push with equal pressure on both sides. It will come out without anything being broken.

There is a threaded adapter that screws into the filter threads on the lens. The the filter holder clips onto it

I smacked mine a couple of times on the side of the lens took an air can and blew in all the cracks and crevices, Put electronic endust on a lens cleaning tissue and forcefully pulled the telephoto lens out gently while pushing on the extension button and wiped it all clean several times. Even ran the tissue a ways into the crevice surrounding the lens. Somehow it started working again which thrilled me since Ehow wanted $176 just to look at it if I would send it in. It still sounds a little scratchy but I will continue cleaning it every use. It sounds like it has a minute piece of sand or something in it. Hope this will work for you.

The true I don't use match this filter, I have to play more with this. But I think you may have some black or shadows, and in other hand, like someone said you can remove UV filter. In some shots you want use polarized filter and at this time I don't know how will work because I don't have one."Hi,I have a canon 24-70 lens. Will this work at 24? Or do you think I will ses!e black spots as others mentioned. thxn"

Thank you but I just want to twist off the old plastic lens from the original post then twist on this new one? will that work? Thanks again!

When mine did that, it was simply a dirty lens. I cleaned it with a microfiber cloth. As the lens is plastic, is it possible that some substance came in contact with it and turned it cloudy? Sorry, these are the only simple things I can think of

I believe there are 2 screws on each sides. Once you get those off, the lens should come off.

It isn't worth trying to take the lens off the metal. I only needed the lens too, but the whole thing changes with two screws. Just take the bulb out, take the two screws lose or out and put the new lens in place and put the screws back in, put the bulb back in and your done.

You press on it and then secure it with a screwing motion. It stays on all right, although it seems hard to believe that rotating it won't unscrew it. (Once I had it on the lens, I never had a case when rotating it - to get the filter in the right position for a shot - unscrewed it inadvertently.)
