Thanks for all the recommendations - will come in handy in the future. Went to Staples looking for a device to remove rear cap, but a very nice employee twisted the cap right off - he had a much stronger grip.

I placed a rear lens cap on my new Nikon 70-200mm f4G lens and cannot get it off. It is on very tight, like it just melted into place. Not sure if it was the one that came with the lens or one I already had. It has Nikon F mount printed on cap. Any help deeply appreciated!

Hi. welcome to the hog. i think you need to work out with weights , lol. Im glad though that the salesman was able to get the cap off.

Can you send some to the White House so they can get a grip on reality? Or the entire congress for that matter. :roll:
