ahh Hayward....you are turning the lens with your hand on top of the lens rather than from underneath in a supporting fashion! I simply can not turn the lens from underneath as the experts would have me do. My fingers are on top of the barrel too. great pictures by the way! looks like it was cold down there on Michigan Ave.
