Using polarizing filter

[e69087]

Hi guys,
I bought a Hoya circular polarizing filter; attach it onto my kit lens & use it. I found the filter is hard to adjust/rotate; there’s resistance when I tried to rotate to achieve optimal result.
Will this put a stress on the auto-focus lens? Or even damage the lens?
Any comments is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

What is your kit lens?

Should have opened and tested it @the shop. Anyway hold the filter in your hands and rotate till it feels loose.

What is your kit lens?

My kit lens is Nikon AFS 18-55mm lens.
Is it suppose to be very free rotating?

yes, it should be freely rotated.

Try going back to the shop and ask for exchange.
