This is a really important issue. You must be able to remove the filter without disturbing focus or pointing yet it must be securely fitted so that it can't blow or fall off.
After one blew off a 500f4.5 telephoto during TSE 2001 in Zambia while I was looking through the camera, I developed a method for mounting filters that is both very secure and easy to remove without disturbing pointing or focus and now thoroughly tested at the past 5 total eclipses.
