[1000mp] remove top or bottom cover for filters on Mark V?

There is one thing that should be taken care of. When you lift one of the
covers it could be very hard to do so, because the cover sticks on a sticky
piece of tape. I used some not-sticky PVC-tape to cover the sticky tape and
I had no more problems when lifting the cover.

When both covers are lifted it is very easy to handle the 1000MP or Mark V.
The other case is to handle an opened 1000D; is this HEAVY!!
