1. Secure camera in vice
2. Use a large 14 inch pipe wrench
3. Don't be afraid to use some muscle on that bad boy!
4. Works every time.

I think you forgot the tissue paper on the filter, so you don't scratch it!!

A few rough edges make it easier to get off next time.

Exactly....My old wrench got to be way too heavy to carry around, so I replaced it with a carbon fiber one, all is good

You are first suppose to soak the whole lens in WD-40 for 5 minutes then it will come off easily. Don't need the pipe wrench!

This post made my day. Was that bottle opener in #3 in service when you shot the pic?
