Anyone have this problem? I got a macro lens screwed on too tight to the front of my camera and I cant get it off. I dont want to pull too much cause Im afraid of breaking the front of the camera. Any suggestions?

Would I be giving bad advice to suggest applying liquid wrench to a q-tip and running that around the edge of the threads?
I had the same problem with a 58mm macro stuck to my 35mm adapter. I even tried one of these: (BTW, great for pulling focus or a slow zoom)

I ended up using good old Liquid Wrench. It was a mess to clean up though, so I would suggest applying it via q-tip around the sides, let it sit for a minute, then try it, and cleaning it up well once it is off.
