UPDATE: folks either I’m an idiot or posting this caused the gods of irony to come to my aid because with a few more careful tries I was able to screw off the guard.
Hey folks, I recently bought this Pentax Q10 camera off of eBay, and so far I’ve had a lot of fun with it.
It came with this lens guard attached, which is a nice addition. However, I can’t seem to get it off. I can’t turn it, I can’t pry it up. It seems thoroughly stuck. Obviously I haven’t tried super hard, because I don’t want to break anything.
Am I missing anything obvious or should I accept that this is just how the lens is? It doesn’t seem to really get in the way or anything.
You’re so right 🤦 I sat down and just tried harder and it came off
Yeah, you don’t have to torque those filters very hard to put them on but taking them off is a whole different story
That’s alright, if it’s new to you, you simply didn’t want to damage it. If they sit around for a while, they magically tend to accumulate the tiniest amount of gunk, which makes them hard to unscrew - or maybe someone put tue gronk on it, which, was already mentioned, you really shouldn’t do.
