Stuck Lens Filter
Hello guys,
I purchased a used Canon 24-105mm L series lens and it looks pristine in the front glass, so I never bothered trying to remove the lens filter during the pre-purchase inspection. However, upon trying to remove it, it seems to be stuck. I did try using a rubber band and am hesitant on trying to use the blow dryer on the lens and lens filter to try removing it. Do you guys have any other suggestions as to how I could try to remove it? When using the rubber band to try to remove it with the added traction, I fear breaking the lens if I apply too much force.
