Using the flat palm of your hand press down evenly and rotate it out. Option 2 Cut the glove in half and place it on a flat surface. press the front end of the lens down against it and turn. Option 3 Secure some 5 minute epoxy and a flat non-porous surface. Mix a and b in equal portions. Now lay down a thin bead around the front most edge of the filter's perfphery. Make sure you don't use too much or it might seep into the threading putting you in a worse position. Now while the epoxy still hasn't cured lay it down on the flat surface and wait about 15 minutes. (not 5 minutes) Turn Option 5 Same as 4 but build up a nice fillet around the filter once the lens id on the surface. Option 6 I'll give you 10 bucks for it. FYI There are in fact 103 ways to remove a stuck filter! I had my Tokina 28-70 atx pro when one of the idiots in the uniforms blew buy me so fast chasing some poor unfortunate that his Glock smacked into my Tokina. The filter prevented any damage. Works both ways! They left me alone for the most part. I was the only guy for miles wearing a Yankee hat you see!
