Dec 25, 2020 10:59 | #1 Somehow ended up with two 67mm cir-pol filters for usage which my 100L macro. I want to keep the better of the two and sell the other. Which should I keep? I believe both are nice filters!  Image hosted by forum (1079681) © birder_herper [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

IMO, definitely the B&W. B&W filters use special glass and also most, if not all are a brass mount which is my preference. Never had one get “stuck”.

Pippan Cream of the Crop  More info Post edited over 2 years ago by Pippan. | Dec 25, 2020 15:23 | #5 Agree, I've destroyed a couple of those Hoyas carefully cleaning them and damaging the coating, and they get stuck. I now have had a few of the B+W F-Pros in different sizes for years. They never get stuck, they're easy to clean with no coating damage and they let a lot more light through while still polarising it (only 1 - 1 1/3 stops reduction). Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

B+W MRC is simply 'a bit gooder' due to its MRC coatings, the use of brass rings (which do not bind as badley as aluminum rings can in aluminum lens barrel threads.
