Just in case anyone else has had a problem removing the lens hood on their 600PF (and possibly applies to others). I was finding the lens hood progressively more difficult to remove. I contacted my dealer who asked me how I was attempting to remove the hood and after I described this manoeuvre, agreed with me that a replacement was in order. They didn’t have one in stock but Nikon UK did. All appeared sorted without me having to send the lens to them.
Then I began to think (it’s always good to do that last isn’t it ) …. “I’ve been meaning to read the instructions for this for some time… better check”. So I did and discovered the key phrase at the bottom of this screenshot. What an eejit… RTM…
The key point is to hold the hood by the proximal ‘ring’ and not the outer edge of the hood.
Apologies if this is all too obvious for everyone. DOH.
