I attached a brand new Tiffen circular polarizer to my DA* 16-50 about 8
weeks ago. I tried to remove it the other day and found it wouldn't
budge. At 77mm diameter it's hard to grip, plus the circular polarizer
ring keeps rotating and gives me even less to hold onto.
Any suggestions? (I mean besides "learn to live with it there" :-) )
Get a thin rubber band that's smaller than the filter circumference
and stretch it over the fixed part of filter. Or buy one of those
filter-removal wrenches.
Yes! The elastic band easily conquered the Tiffen's stiction!
Thank-you very much Robert, and a big thanks to everyone who added their
great suggestions. And considering how cheap the filter wrenches are, I
will most likely buy a set, at least for 77mm and 67mm.
As the young'uns say: PDML rawks! :-)
