HELP!! How do you get the polarizer off the lens????


I have a Nikon D50 SLR digital camera with the 18-55mm lens kit. I just purchased the 52mm Sunpak Circular Polarizer to attach to my lens... I put it on but CANNOT get it off! I put it on nice and straight - the threads were even and all... but it has that outer ring that holds the actual glass that rotates and rotates, but does not tighten or loosen. The ring that have the threads is SO TINY that I cannot even get a grip enough to budge it! I put in on just to make sure it fit... and didn't take the time to clean the lenses previously. I'm now stuck with a polarizer I can't get off and a dirty lens I can't clean. HELP ME!! Is there some special way to do it, or a tool I need? I'm lost and VERY UPSET and FRUSTRATED!

Yes, there are two rings with that kind of polarizer. The mounting ring and the rotating ring. You might try some rubber gloves and make sure you grip that mounting ring good and slowly add pressure as you turn it. Otherwise, take it to a camera shop as they may have a special tool that grips it better for you and if they happen to break anything then it is their fault. Still sounds like a slight cross thread though. Good luck.

Wrap a thick rubber band around the part that has the threads. It will help you grip it. You can also take it back to the store. They would probably be happy to help you get it off.

Before you attach Polarizer Filter,you have turned filter to an
anti-cockwise direction first,then you could heard a click sound and loose ,after that you turning by using cockwise direction to your lens.This was a Professional way,try it now.
