7 WAYS TO REMOVE A STUCK LENS FILTER


I WORK REALLY HARD AT TRYING TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE AND NOT GETTING STUCK IN EGO.

— Ellen DeGeneres


HELLO My name is Mee Go Reng. I like to share the love and knowledge of photography by giving presentations.


1) Rubber Mat • Put the filter face down on rubber mat and turn. • Will not work on CPL.


2) Filter Wrench • Use a pair of filter wrench and turn them in opposite directions. • May not work on CPL again.


3) Use Another Filter • Screw another filter on top and try to remove both. • May end up with 2 stuck filters – Which you can try removing with a rubber mat.


4) Use A Rubber Band • Specially good for CPL. • Use a piece of rubber band to cover the turning part. Will give you more grip to remove the filter.


5) Freeze It • Put stuck filter in air tight bag with some silica gel. Freeze it then try to remove the filter. • Don’t seem to work too well…


6) Saw It • Saw a straight line across the stuck filter then use a file to turn it like a screw. • Will destroy the filter but save the lens.


7) Smash It • Tape the glass portion of the stuck filter, and carefully smash the filter. Use pilers to remove it. • Will destroy the filter, but save the lens.
