Help - HOYA 52mm Circular Polariser Filter
July 10, 2008 | Filed Under Accessories/Equipment, Confessional, Photography, Questions | 4 Comments
I’m a noob. I just received my HOYA 52mm Circular Polariser, but I don’t know why the front element (or rim) comes off when I pull it gently. Rotating the front element/rim doesn’t make it come off unless I pull it off gently. Is it normal or should I return it to the seller? Help! 
The (circular) polariser that I got off eBay which is sold for almost 3 times the price locally.
The back. No instructions or a hint of the CPL’s front element/rim being able to be removed without unscrewing the back element/rim.
This is how it looks like.
And this is where I just don’t get it. Is this normal?
I believe it wouldn’t affect my shots, but if this is not supposed to be removable, I reckon I should return it. Pardon my ignorance. I have already tried looking for answers online but to no avail, and I’m working tomorrow so I don’t have the time to even test the filter out. I didn’t even edit the pictures, and I really just want to sleep now
EDIT: Thanks to Jason and Lilian, I’ve already contacted the seller and I will be sending the filter back for an exchange tomorrow.

The Confessional #2

This is yet another Confessional entry by Raymond Chan.
I haven’t been brushing my teeth lately. How long, you may ask. Let’s just say.. very long. Alright, alright. Maybe not THAT long. I only brush my teeth before meeting L, which is once every few days. It’s not that bad, is it?
Have a great week ahead and do brush your teeth twice a day and after meals.

Murdoch University’s 2008 Semester 1 results came out last Sunday. This is bad. I had expected much more from my Professional Communication MCC236 unit. I didn’t quite like the unit to begin with. All my efforts (albeit often last minute) seemed to have gone to waste.
Second semester will commence 4th August, and I’m already halfway through my holiday. This sucks.

Impulsivity
June 26, 2008 | Filed Under Accessories/Equipment, Confessional, Photography | 2 Comments
Impulsivity costed me AUD$183 (plus postage) today. I bought a used SB-600 Flash about an hour ago from eBay, and to think that a while back, I used to tell cheahwey not to buy anything from eBay. Anyone know how long before you have to pay for the item?
I just paid for the item and it should be here by the end of next week, if everything goes smoothly. Let’s just hope the condition of the flash is as good as it was described.

(Edit) 52mm HOYA Circular Polarising Filter on its way
June 24, 2008 | Filed Under Accessories/Equipment, Confessional, Photography | 10 Comments
Another one of those Confessional entries. I’ve just won the bid for the 52mm Circular Polarising Filter in eBay. The price including shipping is AUD$28.50. A brand new one costs close to AUD$80 in Harvey Norman (I checked today).
Then again, I sort of regretted getting the 3 year-old filter where I could have gotten a brand new one from HK for the same price. That’s for not checking properly. And that’s a AUD$30 lesson to learn.
EDIT: There was a mistake by the seller of the polariser that I won in eBay and the seller agreed to cancel the purchase. After sorting out the issue, I purchased a brand new 52mm HOYA Circular Polarising Filter for AUD$27. The item is located in HK, so it might take a couple of weeks before it arrives. Well, looks like I wasn’t ripped off after all =)
