Hoya Doual cotated Vs. B + W non mrc

While in LA this summer, I tripped and fell into a gutter. Luckily the only

thing to break was my filter which was a hoya dual coated UV filter. I have a B

+ W MRC polarizing filter that I'm very happy with so I went into Ritz and got a

B+W UV filter for $60USD. The Hoya had cost me about that in Australian Dollars.

So my question is. Is the B+W as good or better or should I get another Hoya

dual coated or multi coated filter to keep on the camera? Obviously the fall

brought home the reasons for keeping a filter on the lens all the time as my

lens is undamaged, but I don't want to be shooting through inferior glass that

might degrade my images.

 

There is no information at all on if the B+W is coated at all and if so how many

times. I know they do hand coating which is great.

Can anyone shed some light on the B+W filter I have and how it stacks up against

the Hoya dual coat or multi coated filter?

All the filter says on it is "B+W made in Germany F-pro" The box says "010

UV-Haze filter 70138"

 

Thanks,

Timothy
