i did that before. my 550D fell filter first and had cracks on the filter and dented the rim of it and got stock.

got a b+w filter off… wouldnt recommend trying this. it took me a wrench to force the filter off.
p.s. it also broke the hacksaw that I used…

I used this technique for more than thirty years. Customers would come in to the camera store with lenses that were dropped, the filter rim bent in and jammed too much for the usual rubber pad or hose clamp method. As long as the tools are used gently and judiciously, there is no damage to the lens. Always tell the customer that it will take 30-45 minutes and send them across the street for a cup of coffee.

I followed the instructions on this video, once the glass was oof, the filter screwed off rather easily and I did not have to use plyers…

The person who doesn’t have redundant equipment I guess. I’d figure it out afterwards.

Some well placed C4 charges will do the trick too. Doesn’t mean you SHOULD though. Geezus….
