Pentax 6x7 polarizing filter

[steve_cook]

I'm interested in opinions and experiences with the

Pentax circular polarizing filter for the 6x7 camera.

I've narrowed it down to either the Pentax filter or

the B+W Kaesemann circular filter. This filter will be

used on both my 55mm and 200 lens.

I understand the B+W Kaeseman design means it is sealed around the edges for moisture resistance and is designed for heavy duty use. Multi-coating is a good thing to have too.

I love the Pentax 6X7 67mm polarizering filter. What is great about

it is that the front is notched to accept the Pentax hoods and that

the hoods do NOT rotate when you turn the filter. I've never seen

another polarized like it.

I've had great results using an 82mm B&W polarizing filter on my 45mm f4. I produce 24" X 30" fine art scenic photographs. The B&W filter has a substantial,fairly wide ring, but does not vignette.

I have the standard polarizer. I've been told by the best names in the filter business that a multi-coated polarizer only reduces glare by possibly 1% more than the standard one, and then only in certain circumstances. My B&W filter cost me only $91.00 at B&H a few months ago.
