Stuck Filter


I have a filter stuck on my lens..It looks like it's on a bit crooked. I can't seem to get it off. Any ideas? I'm afraid to put too much pressure on it for fear of breaking something.

  Hello Carolyn.
I did a quick BP Search for Stuck Filters.
(I'd try the "heat trick" first.)

Good luck!

  Thanks Camm.. I'll try that. I've tried the gripper things and had no luck, but hadn't thought of heat.

  Success! It worked like a charm. I heated it up with my heating pad and then used the jar opener on it and it came right off. Thanks so much for the tip!!
