Shel Belinkoff <<<<< The BW mounts are definitely superior. If you want to save money, you can always swap out the glass for new Hoya when the B+W glass dies and keep on using the B+W mount. Similarly for Leica filter mounts, on lenses where the B+W mount seems to cause problems (the 24/2.8M, for instance). We certainly do talk about filters a lot, don't we! Rob. Robert Appleby V.
