It should just unscrew off. However, if you screwed it on crooked it may be very tightly and may need to be carefully but forcefully unscrewed.

Start turning hood counterclockwise, stop and start going clockwise..stop, turn counterclockwise. Hood should come off!

Either Google it or look in the manual that came with your lens. Sorry, that's all I got.

The black section on the top does unscrew. However, then the lens will fall out.

This is odd, I bought my wife a K5 which came with this lens and a hood. It was ordered from Amazon. reading comments someone, somewhere was messed up badly.

Remove the existing ring around the lens ( mine is black and easily turns counter clockwise) The adapter then goes in it's place.

Robbie, did you get the filter? Will your lens cap and hood fit over it? I would like to leave it on all the time.

Flip the mount upside down so that the flat face is facing down. There is a small metal lever attached to the mount that you push to release the lens. While pushing this metal piece, turn the lens off of the mount.

The manual says: "Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at one end of the light lens. Carefully pry the lens out." I would use a rag of some kind of padding between the lens and the housing when prying. Good luck!

The lenses pop right out. I think I remember using a small flat blade screw driver. Unplug the old and plug in the new. It's been a while but I think I had to tuck the wires back in just right to get the lens to snap in.

The hood locks into notches on the collar - the collar is threaded, like a filter. Screw the collar onto the end of your lens (or filter), then a quarter-twist will lock the hood onto the collar. My setup is zoom lens - UV filter - collar - hood. It comes with a picture instruction flyer - not great details, but not difficult. Hope this helps. BJ

Tamron included a lens hood when I bought my lens so I don't know which other one would work. You might double check to see if the lens hood is still included.

Hello hello Rmauma...! The Little push-button on the side... is working... like the release-button... on your camera... Push it In... and turn the lens... same way... as your normal lenses. If the button... or the adapter is stuck... Perhaps try... to twist the adapter... just a fraction... in both directions... while pressing... on the button. This can give the Little locking pin... enough room... to Work. Now take the lens... with the adapter... one hand on each... close your eyes... and let your hands Work... Hope this will help... Greetings... Jakob.

Opening the battery cover, you're going to see (on the aluminum plate) a small black lock next to the hinge. With the camera upside down and the lens facing your right leg, just move it in the same direction where the small black arrow is pointing and turn it a little bit forward and it will come out slowly.

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.

There's no optical reason for getting a lens hood anyhow. It seems impervious to flare. Unless you're worried about dropping the lens and scratching the front element, don't fret not having one.

There should be a groove in the lens where it mates to the case near the switch. Stick a coin in the groove and twist, the lens should pop off.

slip the loop(seems like a single string but is a loop) around the neck strap, open the string loop and slip the lens cap through the loop in the string you wrapped around the neck strap and it is on the strap. Slide the cap close to one end or the other of the neck strap and remove the cap and let it dangle while you take pics and then just squeese it to snap it back in place when you want to protect the lens. Hope this helps. :)
