Bottletopburly Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Probably one for @Graham so the camera came today all good so far , working spacing out for the baader cc so the camera back focus is 17.5 , I have a 16.5 and 21mm spacer with camera +2mm I moved lens up cc giving me 57mm fantastic , but seemingly the 21mm spacer has a m42-m48 adapter which I need to remove , seems the owner put it on upside down and the two notches are inward to spacer , I tried the wife’s latex oven gloves to try twisting off no go there any ideas how I can free this off graham , freeze/heat spacer maybe . you can see notch in photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 A little bit of heat on the internal threaded part often helps. The nose piece on my Atik with Lumicon filters was a beggar for this. Gloves, rubber straps etc would not part em. A waft of a hair drier and they came apart normally. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I have found a very gentle smear (and I mean gentle) of shoe polish helps failing that the oil off the side of your nose. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
