And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The daughter had a slight mishap in the dark cave with her camera yesterday.
Fortunately, it's just the UV filter. Could have been worse. But, now the filter is jammed on the lens, and I'll have to see if some pliers will help to get it off.
That is one rule I took took literally. I have a UV filter on all of my 8 lenses and a circular polarizer for every filter thread size. The UV filters are a cheap investment that can save you a lot of dough if you drop a lens or a camera.
The polarizing filters are great for shooting reflective images like choppy waters on a bright day or anything behind a glass storefront, but in larger sizes, they get expensive. An 86mm Circular polarizer for one of my lenses was two hundred and change.
Ran into this problem a while ago. We didn't get the filter wrench from Amazon, but the wrench set looks much the same. https://smile.amazon.com/Neewer-Rubber-Coated-Remover-Fujifilm-Panasonic/dp/B018I848Q2/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2BWS6EYPQCQDG&keywords=camera+filter+wrench+set&qid=1566233452&s=gateway&sprefix=camera+filter+wr%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-3
Used to work at a camera shop. Remove the broken glass, grab the the filter ring with the tip of needle nose pliers and twist the filter ring. It will collapse and come off
Hope that the mount isn't torqued, or the mirror box misaligned, from the impact. I'd say "ask me how I know", only that's pretty obvious. Nikon service will tell you that you shouldn't have used a Tokina lens :-) Good luck!

Try one of the rubber strap wrenches. Not a lot of surface area on a filter to latch on but it will provide a solid grip.

Remove the glass first, then go for the strap clamp as mentioned.
ReplyDeleteNo rubber strap wrench handy?
ReplyDeleteTry the camera carry strap. Usually works.

ReplyDeleteWhat he said. BTDTGTTS. The filter did what it was intended to do and hopefully turned the energy into its broken glass.
