I'm finding the macro &amp; wide-angle lenses impossible to unscrew. What method did you use to get them apart? (Even pliers don't seem to work.)

I did not have that problem, but I suggest using a mild solution of dishwasher liquid and water to help losen the screw (and then rinse and dry). Hope that helps and good luck!

I think you're supposed to be able to add filter and macro lenses to it (thin little "add on" lenses to get extreme close ups, cut glare,.. that kind of thing). The lens it comes with does not come off - as far as I can tell.

I don't think I would attempt this. It's takes a great deal of skill to dissemble and reassemble a lens. There is also the fact that some lens are coated on the inside and require special cleaners. This work is usually done in a dust free environment. Just my thoughts, Frankn

Hello Cynthia. Just bend a little the lens to insert or extract from the right spots as the lens have a small cut to adapt perfectly. It's easy.Good luck!

I just received these for my birthday from my sister and the macro lens does not fit my 20-50mm lens for my NX1000 and I did not receive an adapter with this package. What do I need to do to get either the right size macro lenses or an adapter so they work?

There is no tool to unscrew the adaptor. The only thing I csn think of is when you mounted the adaptor was you did not mount it correctly aligning the marks. You should mount the adaptor to the lens first then to the body.

Harvey, They screw on to the front of the lens like a filter. I have experimented with both sets of lens and they seem to well. You'll need the tripod for the 2X and maybe the macro lenses.

Yes, You can replace the standard lens with the wide angle. It is necessary to split the case, remove the camera from the board ,loosen the set screw and unscrew the lens. Here is a link for how to do it. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=25880644&postcount;=1984Here is another good article http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1904559Hope this helps!

Yes! You screw it off completely! It shows up blurry if you're trying to take normal pictures, but when you angle the camera close to something, its supposed to focus and look zoomed in! Keep trying, or look up info about macro lenses!

Also, there two levers on the back of the lens. One needs to be engaged by a pin in the adapter. I wonder if the the lens is turned enough. There's a "Lock/Unlock" collar too. Maybe that's in "Lock", and the lens isn't really on all the way?

Correct.. the threads aren't the same. Anyway there's no point in doing that as the front (wide-angle) section is a negative diopter lens and will not allow focusing properly. If only the rear (macro) section is attached you will have a magnifying lens in front of your prime lens.

I believe there are 2 screws on each sides. Once you get those off, the lens should come off.

I'm not sure but pushing in the release screw just causes a tiny pin above it to retract, releasing the lens. You might be able to do the same thing by pushing a paperclip or thin nail into the hole where the release screw goes

On my lens there is a ridged release button on the lens just next to where the red line-up dot is on the adapter. Push down on the button and turn the adapter. It should come right off.

Hi Christine, we got everything..the macro, fish eye, wide angle and the telephoto..some people may have gotten confused because the macro and wide angle come as one..I mean they're screwed together because the wide angle lens needs the macro to be attached to the case. They could be unscrewed though if u only want to use the macro..hope this helps! :)

I have found that when I have had difficultly removing something that uses the threads on a lens or other filter on the lens, wrap your hand around the end of the lens for several minutes and use the heat from your hand to expand the lens or protective filter. Then try to unscrew the adapter from the lens. I have used this technique to remove my polarizer several times when it has been difficult to remove. Remember that the threads on the adapter are plastic and very fine and can be crossed easily. The adapter does not need to be tight to hold the weight of the light ring. Good luck and enjoy the macro world. It is amazing what you can see.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.
