How do you handle filters. Remove the camera for a screw in filter or use a filter drawer?

When I did filters in film work either way I was always fighting dust. In the farm field I worked in it was everywhere and no matter how careful I was it got on the filters. Drawer had the advantage the camera orientation was held steady. Even with a bayonet mounting I had issues with it rotating slightly with filter changes. Using a classic dark room rather than digital this made aligning the colors "interesting". This was in the 80's before digital had replaced the dark room.
