Ever have a filter get stuck to your lens? You try to unscrew it, but it won't budge. Arrgh!
Here's help
1. Try a rubber band around the filter ring and / or use all five fingers to keep even pressure as you turn.
2. Still stuck? Try keeping even pressure and unscrewing it with the palm of your hand. The harder you grab the ring, the more it can distort and that makes it tougher to get loose. Using your palm distributes the pressure evenly.
3. If #2 doesn't work, try using one of those rubber jar-lid openers between your palm and the filter.
4. Still here? OK, try a filter wrench like this one.
5. One more? Sure - it's my favorite and it's worked every single time - warm up the filter with a hair dryer. No kidding, it always seems to work - even with tough filters like polarizers. It's like when you're working on a car - if it's stuck dnd won't come loose, heat it up!
