How to dis-engage a lens hood from lens


Hi

I have recently bought a Minolta Maxxum 70 SLR camera with an AF 28-100 lens. The lens hood was part of the standard equipment and came attached to the lens in the reverse position meant for storage.

I cannot figure out how to disengage the lens hood from the lens. Its not budging at all!!!

Any suggestion/ help will be highly appreciated.

  Satrajit: A few lenses come with built-in hoods, but I don't think yours does.

Did you try rotating it?

Cheers! Peter Burian

  Thanks for the suggestion Peter.

I already tried rotating it. But the entire telescopic part of the lens body (the part which moves while zooming) is rotating along with the hood and I am afraid I will damage the lens!!

Regards. Satrajit
