Bill, can you get enough grip on it using one of those round rubber circles
for opening tight jars (like applesauce, peaches, etc.)? I got some in
three-packs of spaghetti sauce at Costco. I've used it before messing around
with fixing old cameras, good for turning the flat-top screws on top of wind
levers, etc. If you want to try it email me your address and I'll send you
the extra one.
Or you could just sell the whole ring/filter mess to me, I'm looking for the
49-72 ring for my 18/3.5. John H. says he's out, Olympus USA says "no longer
available"... and I haven't seen any on e*ay lately. Maybe Olympus Japan
still has them...
