Fix Zeiss Lens Hood

Sometimes, improper detaching of the lens shade can cause that the silver locking ring will not turn back to its end position. So the lens shade cannot be attached anymore. To solve this problem, just shift back the silver locking ring to its end position with a small screwdriver as indicated in the picture.
