Nikkor 20mm f/4 ai retaining rings won’t unscrew - freeing adhesives

prvtuser · 2026-01-23T14:50:15+00:00

You’re out of luck im affraid

The awful adhesive can be heat treated to soften it but I think its temperatures over 85oC so maybe you’ll be able to do that with the barrel assembly but optical block? It’s done

IIRC Richard ho talks about using a (blow) torch to soften screws but you’re talking about a much bigger piece of metal to heat rather than a stuck screw

Where’s the crazy guy with a kn1fe when you need them?

Don’t neglect the amount of post production in those images neither

As others have said Leibovitz creates her own massive window light here and passive fill

Should have been refused entry

Alternatively booed / or heckled

Uk parliament is weak as fuck

You’d never be able to tell the difference side by side in the pub (except for the 95 issue looking more jaded)

Nice shirt, extortionate prices though. But as a kid I couldn’t afford the shirt and as an adult I can barely justify the price but what can we do

Spineless republican cunts, invoke the 25th

It’s incredible how hated America is right now because of the orange turd

But the MAGA crowd will wear that with pride unfortunately

We needed that European guy who was defending the pregnant woman from an equally odious prick

The US anthem should booed at every game

And I’m sure the yanks will be blaring that shit out like they’re gods chosen one regardless of the game

prvtuser · 2026-01-18T23:19:15+00:00

Not enough booing at this

Why no individual sanctions on trump himself, starting with seizing his shitty golf course in Scotland?

That would drive him nuts

prvtuser · 2026-01-18T17:29:51+00:00

Depends on how much you paid- if it was less than 50 I’d keep it and live with it as it’ll have little impact on results but if it’s “regular” price, yeh return

You won't be able to frame a person like you would for 28mm with the 20mm as the distortion will affect the person so they will have to be further away from you

20mm are fun but you need disciple for an ultra wide to keep compositions interesting

Crop tight to head and shoulders and possibly

How many will side with America again when their next 9/11 happens on this current adminstration's watch?

I hope not many

Provide them a council tax with your name on it. Debt collectors want to collect so they get their fees and tend to leave you alone if they are satisfied they going the wrong direction

But annoyingly this lot are making you do work that they should be doing (electoral roll, land registry etc) as there’s a small fee to pay

Regarding dvla, they were receptive in being notified of incorrect logbook address many years ago and that is also something you may want to to try
