Sticking Filter

Sticking Filter that should be.


Wrap a rubber band around it then try undoing it, the band gives more grip.


On ebay there are special filter wrenches to do the same job.

Re: Sticking Filter

Not quite sure what you mean Bazza!

Put a rubber band around the filter when you want to unscrew it?

Often filters stick to the lens and impossible to undo, expansion or contraction can easily cause this with warm/cold weather. Hence the above posting, I have had it happen to me and there is no way to undo them without causing damage to the threads.
