Filter wrenches can be a hassle, different size rings and not having the right size wrench is frustrating. I've found that a circular rubber kitchen jar opener is very effective. I just joined U.H. and this is my 1st post. I hope this helps any shooters.

The filter wrench I found applicable is an electrical tie with the rachet pin removed; as in picture. It must be big enough to accommodate the size of filter. As in picture

Or you could leave the pin in place and use different color ties for different filters. It would add flair to your photographic appearance.

You would then aquire phantasmagorical line imagery to your photogaphs. Then you could charge more, what a neat idea.

Thanks, I just picked a camera out to start, I like the F3. Those are both real good ideas, I'll have to try the wire tie, I have had to shatter more then 1 filter.

I think you will be pleased with the wire tie. You can purchase different widths and lengths.
