cannot unscrew UV filter
 
So I purchased a UV filter awhile back, and I've been using the Letus Enhanced for a number of months now. I recently noticed some dust on the inner lens, and I tried to take off my UV filter.

No-can-do.

Anyone have any domesticated suggestions? I'm not necessarily weak here, but this isn't some peanut jar. I believe it's been twisted on so tightly now by screwing on the Letus so many times. (and constantly adjusting it)

Nate,
You could try something like this filter remover/wrench:

Fantastic. Didn't even know that existed.

Kitchen playtex gloves did the trick. Thanks for your help!

Hi Nate............
 
Rubber Band (do they call them that in the States?).

Maybe it's "Elastic Band" there, I don't know.

Put it on the filter like you would around the neck of a peanut butter jar etc and just grab it and twist.

If you have 2 filters jammed together, it's about the only thing that works at all.
