I am going to purchase a new neutral density filter and was wondering about brands. There is tiffen, hoya, B+W and perhaps a few more brands for a 58mm lens at B&H.

Is there a particular brand that you would recommend?

Tiffen is good. I've heard good things of Hoya too. For ND not sure it'd matter.
I'd be OK with a Tiffen or Hoya. I'd get the others if I was going for the cheapest :D

I'm more concerned about multi-coated than brand. The MC (or HMC I think some call it) do a lot to reduce reflections which is an important consideration for filters in my opinion. I ended up with the Hoya multi-coated ND filters. From everything that I could tell, B&W and Hoya make some reat filters, and Tiffen is also very good. Singh Ray is excellent if you've got the money.

So far I've gone with Hoya multi-coated and I've been very happy.
