Re: Help on removing stackable filters
Koh,
One trick I’ve used is to take a small length of masking tape and fold it to the approximate width of the filter rims. Then stick a piece on the edge of each filter. This should give you the needed grip to separate the two. Good luck.

I have 2 filters stacked together and are now unable to separate them. I do not want to use too much force... any tips?
1 is UV filter and the other is Circular Polar (makes it harder to turn since is "free turning")
Thanks

For the future:
1) wrap a rubberband around the outside
2) If it's really jammed, place your palm against the front and apply pressure while turning... twisting it from the side actually wrenches the threads and can prevent you from turning it.
