On the first lens I wanted to do (the cheapest of the bunch; I figured I'd
work in order of price, so I'd have more experience when starting on the
higher priced ones) I tried the rubber approach (which I had used
successfully on the Tokina zoom I mentioned), but not a chance with this one
- whoever screwed in the ring fastened it very tightly. It was only after
trying vereything else that I could think of that I came to the conclusion
that this time I'd not be able to avoid getting a spanner wrench.
It's not urgent; though; I'll take my time trying to find one locally and
following up on some of the tips I got in this thread.
Thanks again to all who helped; and special thanks to you, Olafo, for taking
the time to do the translation of Jaap's advice (I do translations for a
living, so I know it's a time-consuming work).
