Yes
I don't know of anyone else has ever experienced this.... But I have an Irix CPL where the actual glass has became loose & spins.

Would I ever buy another Irix filter? No. And that was before this happened....

Anyway, is there a way of ''fixing'' it? I can only think of a very small dab of superglue or something very carefully around the very edge. Would this eat into or melt the coating or something though? I have already replaced it with a Hoya HD for use on my CV40/1.2 but I could use this Irix one on my Contax CZ zoom to save keep swapping from one to the other all the time.
 
Is there an inner ring on the filter that has come loose? I seem to remember something like this happening to me. If there is an inner ring I found mine had a slot in it into which i could insert a small screwdriver and rotate it till it tightens up.

I don't think so. I will take a closer look though thanks.

I think you will make a permanent mess with it.

It is probably a little temperature dependent as well, so you may find it performs better towards the winter.
