Since we are talking about filters this morning, I thought I would share this old trick to remove a filter that is stuck on the lens. If you just grip the filter more tightly and try to twist, the filter ring will distort and make it even harder to twist off. If instead, you place a good sized rubber band around the filter, your hand won't slip and you can usually get it off. Anything stuck worse, will require a filter wrench.
That all seems about right.
