Took the lens hood off to clean the glass and it threaded in wrong and now it wont come off. The press to release button will still click and you have a slight amount of turn before it jsut doesnt move at all. Any tips or ideas on what to do here

Try wrapping a dry warm small towel around the hood. The heat from the towel will cause the hood to expand slightly and it should be a little looser. Make sure you don't heat up the lens. After a few minutes, try to turn it with out pushing it toward the lens, instead pull it gently away from the lens while turning it.You can keep it warm using a hairdryer  but on a low setting the hood might warp if to much heat applied 
GOOD LUCK,

      Camera Backpack advice

      By Cameratose · Posted

      I am currently using Peak Design's everyday backpack 30L. In it (or strapped to it) I can carry the following: A1 with Tamron 50-40mounted, A7 IV with Sony 24-105 mounted, 2-3 spare lenses of varying sizes like 24mm, 135mm, and a 70-200. Spare batteries, strap/PD Clip/wrist strap, spare caps, spare cards, lens cleaning materials like wet wipes, lens tissue, and a microfiber cloth, ear protection, business cards, tripod or small folding chair, water bottle, spare socks/T shirt, hoodie, etc.  One of these days I should take a photo of the bag with everything unpacked. It isn't light.  For smaller outings I use a Tenba Solstice 10L sling which allows me to carry a camera with a couple of lenses, the ancillary items, and a small tripod or monopod I also have a Vanguard Alta Sky 53, which is big enough but not laid out as well, and the bag itself weighs 6 lbs. empty. The Peak Design is half that.  You will want a bag with a sternum strap and waist strap, but you will also want it to carry high on your back to reduce fatigue. Try to put most of the weight near the top and lighter articles toward the bottom.

      While I cannot help you with specific models and the amount of stuff that I carry with me is much lower, I have been buying camera bags since the '80s and I have been experiencing with several brands. I had horrible experiences with some, such as a shoulder strap failure while walking on a mountain trail or backpack zippers that broke while walking in a city, leaving all my gear exposed to people behind my back. The brand that I never regretted buying is Lowepro, I still use a backpack that I bought in 1996 and that I love because it does not scream "camera inside" but looks like a business one. I still have all the Lowepro equipment that I bought and the one that I gave away, it was because I did no longer need it, not because of failure. Therefore my advice is to take a look at their product range if there is something that fits your needs.
