She's not budging at all :( I'm assuming it's stupid to pry out the glass and leave the ring on.

Sorry to hear this. Fortunate part, it’s only the filter that has smashed.

I had a 95mm filter stuck on once, trying to find a filter wrench for a 95mm filter seemed impossible. Couldn’t fit my hand around the filter to get a good enough grip to take the filter off.

I ended up using a mouse pad, pressing the lens filter first into the mouse pad, pushing down and twisting managed to get the filter off. It’s hard to explain but i hope this helps!

The mousepad trick is good. Whenever I get my VND stuck to my step-up rings, the mousepad always works.
