Circular Polarizer Digital

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!

well a polarizer does have the ring that spins, thats the polarizing ring that you can turn to illiminate the reflrections in water or a store window. The ring that spins is mounted to the smaller ring with the threads that screws into your lens.

Maybe try a small piece of tape, so you can hold the two rings together, so the top ring wont spin. You might need soemone with a little bit more manual dexterity, or try a tiny tiny drop of vaseline. Other than that, you might have to take it to a camera store so you dont end up damaging the lens. You might have accidentally crossed the threads.

Dont worry. Its just a camera( albeit a NICE one), and this polarizer will be off of the lens at some point in the future right?? Its not stuck for good. Unless you are a photogrpaher who is losing money each minute the polarizer is one the lens, really, you might be getting tooooo frustrated
