<p>Hi Photo.net people,<br>
<br />I recently bought a second-hand B+W yellow 8 filter from a reputable seller in Germany. However, because it is second-hand, it obviously comes with no supporting documentation (or even a case). It also lacks any of the usual text printed on the mount: recent examples usually have one or more of 'F-Pro', 'Made in Germany' and the B+W logo. Moreover, the writing inside the mount is in a peculiar typeface, almost as if handwritten (I attach a jpeg), whereas recent B+W filters use a different, and quite distinctive, Sans Serif. I have found one other example of this 'handwritten' typeface on ebay, but it is also second-hand, from a private seller, so doesn't prove much either way.<br>

I don't have the facilities to test the optical qualities of the filter within the relevant timeframe, so I have to make a decision on whether or not to return it based on what evidence I have available.<br>
Has anyone seen this kind of text on a B+W filter before? I am wondering if it is perhaps an older style no longer in use.<br>
If anyone can confirm this was an older style of filter marking, hopefully that information might come in useful for others in future.<br>
<br />Thanks for you help.</p><div></div>
