Hi folks, has anyone ever experienced this? Took a few test shots then tried to remove the T.C and it wont come off. The locking pin can release and the T.C turns about 1mm.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

All sorted...just a bit of brute force and ignorance required

Sorry to here about your situation but I had a lens stuck once and had to send it away to be repaired. They repaired it buy taking the lens apart and then rebuilding the lens and replacing the damaged area

Thanks Pink, it was the 2nd release pin on the body that was the culprit. I had to force it more than I would have liked, but it did free itself and is working fine now thankfully
