For more than 35 years I have been putting a little beeswax on the threads.  
works wonders and no mess.  I also had a paraffin stick shaped like a pencis 
that was meant for brass zippers.  It worked well until I misplaced it.  It 
may show up again someday...{8o)

rings. I had a bad experience with brass ring filters getting stuck 
on brass stepping rings. heliopan seems to be the only one making 
brass stepping rings. B+W went aluminum.
