Last month, I dropped my camera and it landed on its lens/filter. The filter glass was shattered, and the ring was jammed onto the plastic barrel of the lens. A strong grab, a little prying, knocking lightly with a hammer... nothing worked.

Finally ... what worked was placing the lens, filter down onto an ice pack and waiting 5 mins ... then screwing it right off. Physics at work! The aluminium ring contracted more than the plastic barrel it was stuck on.
