Forget about most posts before mine, they mostly miss the point of what a 50mm lens is about. It's very simple. 50mm lens on FF will take pictures that look like what your eyes see without having a camera, that is same ratio of sizes/distances represented in the picture as the ratio of sizes/distances your bare eyes saw in the scene before you decided to take a picture of what you saw. So, 50mm is not the most complete at all, but it's the easiest lens to use for beginners or people who don't have a clue about perspectives and distances or don't want to bother dealing with perspective distortions in their compositions. Basically, when you use a 50mm lens on FF, you can rely on your own eye to seeing and selecting what you want to photograph. You don't even need to look thru the viewfinder to see if what you want to photograph will look good on a picture, you can compose with your eyes directly, it's very easy because the picture will look like what your eyes have seen. With 50mm lens, what you see with your eyes is what you get on the picture. But easy doesn't mean it'll produce the most exciting photographs, on the contrary, images produced by 50mm on FF are often unexciting because that's the look that all people can see without any camera just using their eyes, and what makes a photographs compelling is when it shows something that people aren't used to see in the real world. Now, consider a 20mm lens, the picture taken with that lens will never look like what you saw with your bare eyes, with the 20mm lens the closer element in the picture will look larger, and the farther element in the picture will look smaller than what your eyes see in the real world, so , the 20mm lens requires to compose thru the viewfinder, while the 50mm doesn't.

Filter wrenches are the best option. Inexpensive and indispensable when you need them (not often). Other things to try in addition to all the great suggestions above - put on a rubber glove. Or try a small strap wrench (smaller than in the video)

You might need a couple of lens filter wrenches to get them separated.

I couldn't agree with you more, sir. The taboo you speak of is a result of "organized religion," and their obsession with anything that could possibly be considered sexual. Being of native American heritage, I look at the subject in a totally different light. Hypocrisy abounds in just about any religious cult, regardless of which country it exists.

Still less expencive than here in sweden. Congrats US citizens, you know pay european prices for some of your lenses.
Wanna hear something stupid thou? It would be as expensive for me to fly from sweden to new york, go to the city, walk to b&h, buy the da15 fly back home, as if i bought it here. So quit you complaining, it is realy annoying when people complain abou cheap prices...
Just my 2 öre
