I think Lonshadow's suggestion is best. I would put alcohol & mineral oil on a caterpillar & let it crawl around the stuck filters. Might not worl but would make an interesting submission to Ugly Hedghog. :)
As a 1000+ wedding photographer I suggest using the money you would spend for the 2 additional COMPLETE sets of equipment you should have with you to gift them with a professional wedding photographer. I'm not being rude just offering some advice by a pro who faced more than one crying bride asking me to salvage somthing useable from the inexperienced photographer's pile of bad pictures.
It was quite a few years ago when I realized, quite by accident, that my newly purchased slr with the then unique vertical shutter (I think it was a Minolta) I realized that photographed images from my tv did not have the wavy diagonal lines. I guess it had something to do with sychronzation.
Vertical shutter vs horizontal shutter.
Thanks fot your reply. As a 40 year retired wedding (1000+) & portrait photographer I just couldn't resist. I would have moved her hand & possibly lost the moment. Great candid!

I know you didn't ask but I have a suggestion. When I look at her I see her face first then immediately the back of her left hand. If her hand were placed in the crook of her elbow so only the side of her hand partially shows her pretty face would be the only point of interest.
My recently deceased (age 103) Uncle Bernie Mason, I recently discovered, led Task Force Mason celebrated in the PBS documentary THE GHOST ARMY. He was a member of a group of engineers, artists and other specialists who misdirected the German army away from the Allied landing on Omaha Beach. He never said a word about his front line involvment. I once asked him about his war activities & he said that all he would talk about was being told by his Major to dig their foxholes deep. When he awoke in the morning 1/2 of his helmet that he had placed on the rim of the foxhole had been blown off by artillery. He never mentioned anything else about the war.
My brides would agree he made a hellova camera!
As a retired pro I've used Hassy, Rollie, & Mamiya medium format cameras. 35mm & digital Nikon & Canon & Lumix. In my opinion my Lumix with the Leica lens is as good as any of them. Not enlargeability of course but for everyday shooting a 35 - 600mm Leica lens is fantastic! Thanks.
