I have a B+H Have filter that normally always stays on my lens, I put my new Hoya on it and I can't get them separated. Any suggestions?

I purposely left them a little lose when I put it on because I notice it was a little hard to separate them, but I guess it tightened itself up real good.

Try wearing rubber gloves when trying to seperate them.

Thanks Tony, that seemed to give me just that little bit more grip that let me get it off. The Hoya filter I had on was a Circular Polarizer so it had a section that turned freely.

I got the B+H when I first got my first and only lens with the 10D purchase and was told that B+H is made of brass(I think that's what the guy said). Maybe I should stick with those kinds of filters.

I take it I should stack filters?
