I have no problems to take out the lens hood. Just turn it counterclockwise.

Hi Harry, the lens does not come with a lens hood. We do not have a lens hood that is compatible with this model. Thanks_Mitch

Use a small flat head screwdriver. Look at each lens and you will see the tab you need to push on. Very easy process. Just take your time and not force the removal.

To remove the filter from your lens you have to unscrew it holding the bottom part of the lens, not the top part because the top part adjust only the polarization of the filter. I hope this will help you Rejean

It isn't worth trying to take the lens off the metal. I only needed the lens too, but the whole thing changes with two screws. Just take the bulb out, take the two screws lose or out and put the new lens in place and put the screws back in, put the bulb back in and your done.

How do you pull them out? It seems like you would need super small tweezers or something but how do you do it without damaging the lens itself?

If you have a Hood on the lens, how would you adjust the CPL filter? I'm sure the hood fit over the filter.

Check youtube, there is a video where the guy actually uses velcro to attach the hood which makes it easily removable. He tossed the mount that would attach to the tripod threads

well my hood will not take a cheater lens. 2x4 is too big and thick. I guess I could glue one on but not convenient to clean that way.

There is not a lens cap that fits the larger open end of this hood that I know of. We have to slide the cap inside to take it on and off. You can twist the hood off and on without interfering with the lens cap when putting the camera back into a bag for example.

The hood locks into notches on the collar - the collar is threaded, like a filter. Screw the collar onto the end of your lens (or filter), then a quarter-twist will lock the hood onto the collar. My setup is zoom lens - UV filter - collar - hood. It comes with a picture instruction flyer - not great details, but not difficult. Hope this helps. BJ

Mount screws in and the hood is bayonet on to the mount. You can put the lens cap into the mount still or any other 58mm attachments like filters etc.

I have found that when I have had difficultly removing something that uses the threads on a lens or other filter on the lens, wrap your hand around the end of the lens for several minutes and use the heat from your hand to expand the lens or protective filter. Then try to unscrew the adapter from the lens. I have used this technique to remove my polarizer several times when it has been difficult to remove. Remember that the threads on the adapter are plastic and very fine and can be crossed easily. The adapter does not need to be tight to hold the weight of the light ring. Good luck and enjoy the macro world. It is amazing what you can see.

It is just a plastic hood,I think a lens glass can still fit under it as the threads are still clear with the hood on the lens

Nope. You may be able to cut it down. The actual lens slot is pretty small compared to everything else I have used (mainly Miller and one 3M).Still a decent hood. Got it for my helper because it was affordable. I have tried it a few times and like it. One thing I noticed that I don't remember reading before buying is that it doesnt have adjustable tint. It seems to auto adjust itself and I haven't been flashed while using it for TIG or stick.

The hood is just out-of-frame, so I rarely find myself wanting to remove it, but yes, it's easily removeable by twisting it off. It's a feature Opteka added to the newer version of the lens, which is this one.

The lens is not glass. You should be able to very carefully remove the lenses.
