Hi LPF,
So, like a total noob, I screwed a G2 lens into my fancy new NUBM44 the wrong way around. Now it is stuck. I can unscrew it about a quarter turn before I feel the spring catch on something and stop turning further. I tried giving it a decent twist with a pair of pliers, but that didn't work, and I didn't want to apply too much torque to the thing. Is there any way to fix my mistake, or am I stuck with a totally unfocused diode now?
Luckily I got a few beam shots with the original 3-element lens before this happened, which I'll post in another thread.
Thanks in advance!
