Excuse me everyone. This is my first post, I just joined this moment. I have had SLR cameras for 30 plus years and always used a skylight or UV filter for no other reason than to protect my lens.
Anyway I have a UV filter on my 18-55 lens for my Canon 20-D but somehow it was mis-threaded being put back on. It was probably me, I can't believe I did that, I feel like such an idiot.
There was a guy Steve on here a while back that had two filters stuck together and I read your comments and helpful suggestions like putting it in the freezer etc. But this filter is stuck on the lens so I'd be worried about condensation forming after, I can't exactly immerse it in water either (!) I've tried rubber gloves and also an elastic band wrapped around the filter but it's on there pretty good.
Is there a chance I could wreck the lens by giving it a good crank with cushioned needle nose pliers, since it is an AF and I'm not really familiar with how much twisting around I can do with it.
I appreciate any help you can offer, this seems like a good site, thank you for your time.
Cheers
