Something you can try in extreme circumstances is to heat cycle them. Use a soldering iron with a tip the same diameter as the head. Hold it on the head for a few seconds, remove it and add a small amount of your favouite lubricant to the joint between head and ring. Repeat as necessary. Not recommended for other than all-metal [and glass...] lenses. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information
