I really love my new Carl Zeiss Distagon T*2.8\/15<\/a> lens. The quality is just simply amazing and I love the way it looks and how the elegantly designed metal lens feels.<\/p>\n

One thing I do not<\/b> like though is that it’s fairly easy to get a circular polariser filter stuck and much harder to get it out… One would usually use a rubber band or a filter wrench but those won’t work (and I don’t have a filter wrench anyway) because of the so elegant fixed hood.<\/p>\n

Since I finally managed to unscrew it, I figured I may as well share the way I did it, as I couldn’t find any reference in Google. I basically went for the same principle as the rubber band: using rubber dishwashing gloves really helps! It gives you sufficient friction to unscrew the filter, although you may stil have to get a good grip on the non rotating part of the filter.<\/p>\n

After having found that, I googled again and found out some people already recommended such method as one way of doing things. In the case of the lens above, it may be the only one!<\/p>\n

Now, I need to add a pair of dishwashing gloves to the list of accessories in my photography bag…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
