tm_photography Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
