Can the outer silver ring around the lens be unscrewed? On some the ring can be unscrewed & replaced with an adapter tube that will hold filters.

I just tried and it does not seem to unscrew at all. There are pre-set filters for taking pictures - fishbowl, old fashioned, muted, etc. Hope that helps.

Be careful ! I just purchased a bayonet-to-standard filter thread adapter to allow me to protect the open end of my lens ( It is a 105mm Series E ); and fit a filter on this. I now find that it is jammed on and I cannot remove it ! If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful ? Phil A

Not really, it simply clips around an outer grove the is fairly common on the rim of most lenses.However, some filter brands offer a threaded adapter ring to combine multiple filters together, and some even have built in coupler threads. In either case, this hood leaves plenty of room for additional modification.

Keep in mind that the silver release is NOT a screw, but a button/slide tab. When in place, you'd push it down/away from the lens to release the pin that's holding it on the lens. Now that it's gone, you should still see hole where it was. You are going to need something very small, like a jeweler's screwdriver (smallest size Phillips head) or a sewing needle and you are going to have to have a pretty good light source. You'll need to try to get the tip of the jeweler's screwdriver or tip of the needle into the hole and search for the hole in the pin (it's there somewhere, but it might be up towards the lens). This will be tough, but you'll have to play at it till you can get some leverage on the pin to pull it down and away from the lens so you can release it. Keep in mind that the pin is spring-loaded, so it naturally wants to drive up and into the matching hole on the lens ring. This means IF you can get the pin to slide down, you'll have to hold it down while you are turning the lens against the adapter body to release. Like I said, this will be tricky and require some finesse. If you can't manage it, you will probably have to track down a local shop that repairs lens and camera bodies. They will have the experience and tools to remove it without damaging the lens. FYI: I am also no longer using this POS adapter. As others here have stated, it's poorly-made and has absolutely zero documentation. Sorry for your troubles!

I couldn't locate my cpl for this reply, but some other (AGFA) filters have as little as one to one-1/2 threads engaged. This is usually enough, providing you rotate the outer ring in the direction that always tightens the filter in the lens. I've never lost one---yet! Appears to be a good filter, though--smooth rotation.

yes the ring with the lens element does screw into the filter thread at the bottom of the Celestron lenses and any others I have that were same thread. Park lens did not have same thread.

It comes with an adapter ring. Screw that onto your existing lens then attach the lens.

I have found that when I have had difficultly removing something that uses the threads on a lens or other filter on the lens, wrap your hand around the end of the lens for several minutes and use the heat from your hand to expand the lens or protective filter. Then try to unscrew the adapter from the lens. I have used this technique to remove my polarizer several times when it has been difficult to remove. Remember that the threads on the adapter are plastic and very fine and can be crossed easily. The adapter does not need to be tight to hold the weight of the light ring. Good luck and enjoy the macro world. It is amazing what you can see.

The answer is: Try lens adapter rings to fit larger lens filter. They're inexpensive and do the job.

There is an outside thread on the lens so it should be possible to fit a UV filter to it.

The adapter ring attaches to your lens and then the filter holder attaches to the adapter. There are multiple adapter rings to fit most lens sizes. As an example, if your lens is 67mm, you use the 67mm ring, then the semi-square pieces slides on to it. This piece holds up to 3 filters for stacking.

I don't think there are any filter threads, no threading to secure them on the lens itself.

It is but after we took the tiny screws out to replace, there was no way we could figure out how to change it. I ended up sending the ring i bought and the lens back to Nikon to repair.

There's kind of a notch on the back, right below where the triangle is pointing to. In that notch is a silver tab. That tab has to be pressed down, or moved to the side. That will lift the tiny metal cylinder that locks into the lens and holds the adapter into the lens. I have a few different types of adapters, and they're all a little tricky to get off. But once you understand the concept of lifting that tiny cylinder up, it's not too hard to figure out how to remove them.

Yes there is a ring, but to the question whether you can unscrew it I would say NO. This scope is filled with Nitrogen Gas and if you break the seal, the gas will leak out, therefore your scope will turn cloudy. This is how I ruined one scope in the past. I recommend just getting a scope with Adjustable Objective. I recently bought a Barska AO 3-12x40mm. I love it, and I get adjust it to be crystal clear at any distance.

Yes, it does. I keep it with the filter adapter ring and the snap on lens cap permanently mounted on and there is room for a filter.

There is a button on the side of the-adapter, you need to pull out or push in to un mount the lens
