[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]At various times I'll be using filters on my Leica lenses. Is there any reason to pay almost twice the price for a Leica filter compared to a multi-coated B+W filter? Do Leica filters offer better coating, more (or less) coating layers, better, flatter glass, or have any inherent benefit over the B+W filters? Are Leica filter rings brass or another material? This question is not a rehash of whether or not one should use filters, but to determine what the differences are between these brands so I can get a little more information about the Leica filters and then decide which I'll use. Thanks for any help and suggestions. - -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net
