I have one of the downsizing adaptors on my kit lens to put an attachment on and I can't get the thing off. I tried a bunch of the ways to take a filter off like against your shoe, two rubber bands, or against a rubber mat, etc... but it won't come off. Is there any way to get it off without damaging it, if worst come to worst I will just use pliers and take it off.

 

How did it get stuck? Did the threads not line up when you put it on or something?

 

i usually just kick my lens

 

No it lined up perfectly and threaded fine, but I guess when putting the other lens on that it tightened it too much. I haven't found a local camera store to ask for help either.

Or cool the lens down so it shrinks a little then try.

 

I tried all of those with no luck. It will not budge, but I will give a shot at the temperature idea.

If it does not come off, I am just going to ruin the adaptor and get another one if I ever decide I need the fisheye again.
