Also a plier type here now. I used a strap type, cap type and the metal band type on my 2.8, but I guess a freakin gorilla put it on (flippin stealer, that was my first mistake!). I was panicking, filter was all crushed and I needed it done. Went out and bought the pliers, took that sucker right off!
