Stuck Filter Trick.

->> Came across this on the Pbase forums after I got a 77mm stuck on my 80-200.

It sounds goofy and I probably look like a weirdo doing it at work, but trust me. it works very well:

1: Remove lens w/stuck filter from camera.

2: Hold lens in one hand, firmly, holding the lens barrel/filter mount in place.

3: Put shoe on other hand.

4: Press lens (filter) against bottom of shoe, turn to remove.

5: Clean filter and lens, return to shooting.

->> I had this problem once and did some research and found that you can put a thick rubberband around the stuck filter to use for grip then simply turn it off. It worked perfect and I now keep that big band in my bag at all times.
