The way to avoid that is brass, (yea, right try to find brass anything
these days), or very high quality black anodized. Actually I don't have
either. The step up step down rings I have are almost as old as I am,
and made of enameled steel, I've never had them seize but then I use
them so seldom that I have no idea where they currently reside. I
suppose they might if the enamel wore off to any extent, but I don't use
them that often.

Ann,
My concern is quite the opposite: I am not afraid to loose it, but
rather to have if stuck on the lens or filter forever.

But yes, indeed, I was leaning toward buying the cheap one with good
reviews, but then I read a couple of horror stories:

and in the middle of this page:

And I became concerned, since I've already had problems separating my
polarizer from the lenses before, and at 77mm you usually get more
binding then at smaller sizes.
So, I am thinking if I want to risk it...
Or, maybe I should spend some $6 to buy filter wrench at the same
time?...

As to other sage step advice, better to put the 77 filter on the lens
with the 67 thread than the reverse- but I'll wager that
occured to you .
