[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 530266, member: 16749"] From my favorite thrift store… [ATTACH=CONFIG]197229._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]197230._xfImport[/ATTACH] A previous owner of this lens was apparently a mute donkey, who managed to get a UV filter screwed too tightly on the front, and was unable to remove it. There was evidence that he had used a considerable amount of force, and only managed to do some significant damage to the filter, and some minor damage to the lens itself, without managing even slightly to loosen the filter. Fortunately, I was able to remove the filter, (destroying what was left of it in the process, but it was already ruined anyway, so no loss there) without doing any further damage to the lens, and to repair what damage had already been done to the lens. So now, finally, on my tight budget, I have a usable macro lens. [ATTACH=CONFIG]197231._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]197232._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
