Any of you digiscoper's got any tips for removing step-rings from filter threads ? short of pipe wrenches or mole grips!

A method I use a lot is to get a big lump of Blu-Tac. Press that onto the step ring, covering as much of it as you can and give it a good twist. As well as using that method for step rings I use it for stripping down old slr lenses that need cleaning etc. Blu-Tac is handy stuff for undoing threads.

SRB Griturn do a small and simple filter wrench set for around £3.95. Think the smallest size it goes to is 49mm though, and I've never used one myself.

Thanks for the tips, blue tack sounds handy and the wrench set is worth looking into, thanks again.
