UPDATE: folks either I’m an idiot or posting this caused the gods of irony to come to my aid because with a few more careful tries I was able to screw off the guard.
Hey folks, I recently bought this Pentax Q10 camera off of eBay, and so far I’ve had a lot of fun with it.
It came with this lens guard attached, which is a nice addition. However, I can’t seem to get it off. I can’t turn it, I can’t pry it up. It seems thoroughly stuck. Obviously I haven’t tried super hard, because I don’t want to break anything.
Am I missing anything obvious or should I accept that this is just how the lens is? It doesn’t seem to really get in the way or anything.
@sunspider
it looks like it’s screwed into the filter threads. if so, it should just unscrew.
I can’t see the image clearly, can you still see through the lens with the ‘lens guard’ on? it might just be a UV filter, which a lot of photographers leave on their lens all the time for protection
