B+W XS-Pro stuck on 35L!

Hey all! I've a problem.

My B+W XS-Pro UV 72mm filter is stuck on my 35L! What's worse is that it's a "slim" filter so using an elastic band won't work. Any help here would be good!

Cheers,

One of those plastic filter wrenches might work? I have one, they are surprisingly good.

Thatkind of thing.

you can try to use rubber sandals, thats how i removed my wife's filter that got misaligned somehow

Rather than grasping the radius of the filter ring with two fingers, you can try to grasp around the edges at about 4 points and do so gently so as to not deform the ring and cause it to bind more.

The other way to try is to: remove the lens from the camera and place it filter face down on a rubber surface (the underside of a mouse pad is something that works), press downward against the filter as you twist the lens.

I try and place my whole hand over the filter so that my palm is in contact with it, and press down rather than inwards, then twist it.

A fat bungee works. Held tightly around, it fills in any gaps and grabs well. One turn and you're done. It's a DIY version of those plumber's pipe wrenches that use leather straps to grab a pipe all around with balanced grabbing force.
