In principle, it shoud be easier in a warmer room, - as all the metals expand with increasing temperature. I know when my 77mm ultra-thin B&W polarizer filter gets stuck in cold weather, bringing it to a warm room helps. I haven't tried to increase the temperature beyond the room temperature. Obviously, I would not use a heat-gun, but I would consider using a warm-air hair blow-drier.
Good luck. Igor From: "Bruce Walker" Subject: Tips for loosening 77mm filter? >I attached a brand new Tiffen circular polarizer to my DA* 16-50 about 8 >weeks ago.
