Ok,
I've done everything I can think of but I can not get the #^%%$%#$ lens off my camera! Can anyone please help? I've tried tightening the screw till my fingers bleed, I've done everything I can think of. Is there some trick I'm missing here?

PLEASE HELP!

well u have to tension the screw to actually unscrew teh lens.. be aware that teh thread is VERY flimsy and ive got through 3 lenses already just with what your experiencing here..

I wish pana had put a metal thread (like on teh zoom ring)

Ok, did that, my inner circle thing is completely striped now and is just allowing the screw to spin, lens still wont come off. What can I do? I'm up for anything at this point
