Stuck uv filter



  182
Hi guys I'm back with another problem haha I've got the uv filter stuck on my lens and can't get it off I've used the rubber band trick ect but nothing is moving this one, and I'm really getting annoyed now is there a more aggressive way to remove it? Thanks in advance

Try a change in temperature, i got a CPL stuck on my lens when i put it onto the lens in a warm media centre, then spent a day out in the cold, couldn't get it off, went back into the media centre and it came off once it warmed up a bit. I would be careful making the change in temp too drastic as you might get condensation in the lens (which goes away after a few hours).

You can get rubber pads used for undoing stuck lids, they works a charm on most things.

Not sure about other ideas, possibly a short sharp twist to try and undo it, as opposed to a constant force maybe???

Cheers for that yea I heard the temp changes could have some thing to do with it, I'll keep trying throughout the day but it's getting to the point where I want to smash it on the edge of a table haha
