Camera opps!
 

This happened some time ago and I'm over it but would like some help fixing it.
I can't get what's left of the filter off the lens.
Any ideas on how to do it without damaging the lens?
All help would be appreciated.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1300324928.jpg

Shape a drift close to the radius of the filter/lens....

and tap tap tap... until you have restored the filter and lens to round such that you can remove the filter.

Just a little metal working... instead of the fender of a car... it will be on a camera lens

easy fix. I am a retired camera repair man. Had this problem quite often.
use a flat pair of pliers and crab the filter ring and twist the pliers.

If you twist it counter clock wise you will be able to unscrew the damaged filter ring.

Fixed it!
 

Thanks for the tips guys.
I got inspired by Tim's post and took the hammer to it. VERY gently.
Threads on the lens are fine.
Thanks again.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1300327108.jpg

in the future... get a lens wrench

BTW - Series E is not a high class piece O' Nikon glass..

Glad it worked out OK... Nice to see someone else who still shoots film. ;)

Not to mislead you, I haven't shot film in at least 20 years or more. Never really could afford to do that. The camera belonged to my mother and I inherited it when she passed. I had loaned it to my daughter when she was in high school after I convinced her to take a photography class her senior year. She had loaned the camera to a friend who bumped the lens.
All is well now as the threads weren't damaged and another filter screwed right on, no problem.
I've found that the true fun of photography is making the best use of the equipment one can afford. I've seen some really crappy snap shots taken with some really expensive equipment by people who think that just because they have an expensive outfit they must be good photographers.
This is/was my camera of choice when I was shooting film.

I fell in love with this model back in about 1970 or so when a neighbor came home from Nam with one. He loaned it to me for a shoot out at Riverside Raceway one weekend. I was heartbroken when I discovered I'd loaded the film incorrectly and the roll came out blank. But I had discovered a camera that felt like an extension of my hand so had to have one. Finally got this one for $30 about 25 years later.
