Mine has a metal screw-on hood, just like a filter. But its an older model of the AF 80-200 F2.8 D ED IF, is that what you have?

Use a plain lead pencil (graphite) and scratch some lead around the threads, wipe off the excess and it will act as a lubricant to help keep the hood from sticking as bad in the future.. Glad it came off OK.

This is why I read all these posts, I never thought about using pencil lead on threads, I have a couple of adapter rings that always stick and this sounds like the solution to my problem. Thanks alot.
