I bought some new filters. When I used them, they wouldn't come apart. (Usually I paraffin the threads, but I hadn't yet.) Why was I using two filters? Red + 6-stop neutral density. Since I don't have filter wrenches, the following method worked: I put pieces of strong double-sided tape on a counter. I pressed the ring of one of the filters onto the tape and turned the other filter. It worked great. It's not very field appropriate, though, and so I ordered some filter wrenches, which are really cheap, btw. Putting too much pressure on a couple of point on the circumference of the filter will likely bend the filter ring out of round. That would make it even harder to remove.
