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: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...ch_Set_of.html Regards, Ross. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

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. CS |
