I'm angry and frustrated and confused. I just got a new f/1.8 50mm Canon lens for my 350D. I bought also an adapter ring from 52mm to 58mm, so I could use all my 58mm filters on it.
I got the lens brand new. Put it on camera. Put on adapter ring. Put on filter. Shot many pictures. Got very happy. Put camera away.
Four days later, I take it out to shoot, and notice that AF doesn't work. The lens is jammed. I try MF, and the MF ring is jammed. I look more closely and see that my adapter ring (made of metal) appears to be on crooked! When I got these new things, I CAREFULLY put them on just right and successfully took pictures. Now everything's screwy! It looks like it got slammed into a wall or dropped! No one touches this camera but me and I assure you I have not let the slightest thing happen to it.
So, I tried and tried and tried for an hour and a half to unscrew the adapter ring. It is SO STUCK. Tried rubber jar openers. Tried with all my strength (and I'm a really good jar opener, I can always open them!) and that thing WILL NOT MOVE. What do I do? Take it to a camera shop? Ask my husband to try unscrewing it? Will something break? If I finally get it off, will my lens be jammed forever? ale:
