I cannot unscrew a thin 95mm UV filter on my Nikon 200-500mm. I’ve tried gently taping it, tried to slightly tighten it, then reverse it, rubber bands around the filter frame for a better grip…all to no avail! Lens & filter inside a hard case in home and not banged around very much to loosen any grit\dust, etc., et al. Any good hints on this for me? Help!
Before you really mess up the lens, maybe you should take it to a reliable camera store and have them remove it. I have never had a filter that I couldn't remove with either a filter wrench or some kind of gripping material, but perhaps your filter is on too tight, cross threaded or has some other problem that is making removal difficult.
